There are not only two genders any more. In India Hijras have their male genitals removed, dress as women and consider themselves genderless. In Indonesia, a community of people recognizes five genders. In Albania, a woman became a sworn virgin, choosing to live as a man in order to have the same rights as men.

People choose to look different and stand out from the crowd. Sometimes in order to do so they self-mutilate. In New Mexico, a young woman has horns implanted into her forehead. In North Carolina, a woman has her internal body altered by wearing really tight corsets. In New Zealand, a man has one eyeball tattooed.
