How are transgender people treated in other cultures?

Other cultures have dealt differently with transgender people than, sort of, modern America. Back in early American History we first learn that the native and indigenous people here identified some of their members as two-spirit and those people were often revered as having a great insight into humanity because the did embody both male and female aspects.There are cultures such as India who have the Hijira, which are people in the culture who are usually born male but adopt a female identity. Sometimes they don't have medical intervention, sometimes they do. In Thailand there are the Kathoey, I hope I'm saying that right, which is how Thailand identifies transpeople. It's in some ways a lot more accepted than it is here, because there are Kathoey who are pop stars and actors and actresses and stuff, but the culture places them in sort of a third sex category more so than accepting them as women.
