In this episode, @elsapriscilld, your host for this episode, invites Sharyn Graham Davies (anthropologist, associate professor, and internationally-recognised expert researcher for Indonesia’s study of gender and sexuality) to discuss about Indonesia’s history of the third gender. From talking about to Burake from the Toraja tribe, ancient indigenous artefacts such as La Galigo and colonial reports that revealed interesting discoveries, to the roles Bissu have in shaping our culture and history that we know today, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg!
