The third gender

The third gender

“What is the third gender?” “What are the problems or difficulties facing the third gender people in their life?” These are some of the common questions for those who first time hear about the phrase “The third gender”

How about you? Do you know anything about this kind of gender? Let’s join our GLN English Club to discuss this topic. Especially, Ms. Aubrey from Philippines – one of the youngest teachers in GLN will attend our club and share with us about “The third gender” in Philippines. Wish you a great time with us!
