* In the [[Philippines]], a number of local sex/gender identities are commonly referred to as a 'third sex' in popular discourse, as well as by some academic studies. Local terms for these identities (which are considered derogatory by some) include ''[[Bakla|baklâ]]'' and ''binabae'' ([[Tagalog language|Tagalog]]), ''[[Bakla|bayot]]'' ([[Cebuano language|Cebuano]]), ''agi'' ([[Hiligaynon language|Ilonggo]]), ''bantut'' ([[Tausug language|Tausug]]), ''badíng'' – all of which refer to 'gay' men or trans women. [[Gender variance|Gender variant]] females may be called ''lakin-on'' or [[tomboy]].<ref>[[Serena Nanda|Nanda, Serena]] (1999). ''Gender Diversity: Crosscultural Variations''.
