Although many people think of races as minorities in populations today, they fail to realize that gender too is another area in which minorities fight to become recognized as groups that deserve equal rights. In Nepal, according to this video, the momentous decision of including a third option under gender categories that people can select for the national census has been made. This step forward for gender minorities indicates that, due to the recent movements involving LGBTQ's, the presence of these gender minorities has become known to the extent where countries are officially recognizing them as a unique group of people. The widespread acknowledgement of transgenders or those who are intersexes educates citizens further about the existence of these populations. At the same time, the government's recognition and acceptance of the populations will eventually lead to the same acceptance among the people of the nation.
