DEFINITION

Kinnar or kinner, or Hijra (also written as hija, hijira, hijda, hijada, hijara, or hijrah) is a third gender from the Indian subcontinent. The word hijra is a Hindustani word and is the most commonly known term outside of the Indian subcontinent. Although, the hijra community in India prefer to call themselves Kinnar or Kinner. In Pakistan, they are called Khawaja Sira (equivalent for transgender in Urdu).

I read that the term many use for it outside of India, Hijra, isn't one very much liked in the actual community. As such, I will try to refer to it instead with kinnar or kinner.

It is not considered completely male nor female. They are generally AMAB, though occasionally intersex, and have a feminine gender expression.

It is counted in the international non-binary people's day.

There wasn't really any art for it ): all third genders are still valid! Though some are more well known than others.
