Di Nepal, Identitas interseks sering menghadapi pelecehan dan diskriminasi karena mereka terus-menerus akan dipertanyakan, apakah mereka Perempuan atau Lelaki.
Kementerian Dalam Negeri Nepal kemarin mengumumkan bahwa mereka sekarang akan menawarkan kewarganegaraan di bawah kategori jenis kelamin “other/orang lain”, untuk mengakomodir anggota komunitas yang memiliki orientasi seks tertentu. Dengan memilih sebutan “third gender/gender ketiga”. Diharapkan dengan adanya tawaran tersebut individu perlu takut mendapatkan perlakuan tidak adil karena penampilan mereka tidak sesuai dengan identitas mereka.

The nation’s Home Ministry announced yesterday that it will now offer citizenship under the gender category of “others” to accommodate members of the LGBTI community. By opting into this “third gender” designation, individuals will no longer have to fear unfair treatment because their appearance does not match their identification.
