The time when the transgenders were highly respected and an integral part of the society... then they weren't vulgarized as today

Through many options for gender expression, including recognizing five genders, this Indonesian community finds balance and peace and prays to share this with the world. Taboo: Third Sex : WED OC...

A transcription of the video (the names and some local words may not correctl transcripted):

In many cultures, a person existing outside the two accepted genders is seen as confronting, even threatening. But gender is defined by culture. And outside Suluwesi, the Bugis believe that in addition to men, women and Bissu, there are two more. These two additional genders are made up of people that in the west would be considered transvestites. 

Taboo's gender is Chalalai. Biologically she is female but she lives as a man.

"I feel comfortable as a Chalalai. My family is also comfortable. As long as I'm a good person and I work hard, people accept me."

Abdul Rahman or Poppy is Chalabai. He has male genetalia but has lived as a woman since he was six years old.

"I am not special. The Bugi's culture accepts all five genders."

Taboo and Poppy join the fertility ceremony. 

Because according to high priest Proangmatoa all five genders must co-exist for there to be universal harmony.

"There are five genders and we don't need to separate people based on their gender because everything must live in harmony."

"If one of the genders is separated, then the world will become unbalanced."

At a sacred cave, three miles from Segary, the Bisu begin the first stage of the blessing, an offering to the earth. The Bugis believe the universe has three levels.

Heaven where Partote(?) lives, 

the middle world where humans live and the underworld where the spirits lives. 

We pray that everything, animals, plants, people, everything stays connected with each other. Not only from this village or district, but the whole country, the whole world is kept in balance and safe.

The second stage of the blessing is an offering to the spirits. Because of their Bisu gender, the Bugis believe that Bisu priests can communicate with them. Poangmatoa must be possessed by a spirit from the underworld before the fertility ritual can be completed.

"In order for a Bisu to be to be able to bestow a particular blessing. they have to be able to contact the spirit world and one of the reasons why they can contact the spirit world is because they're male and female embodiments."

"And then the Bissu with all of those combinations of female-male spiritual powers can bestow a strong blessing."
