'''Bissu''' is a gender from the Bugis culture of southern Indonesia. Bissu are often called "gender-transcendent" or "[[Metagender|meta-gender]]" and represent all aspects of gender combined to form a whole.
Prior to western influence the Bissu people recognized five genders, the other four are: ''oroane'' ([[cisgender]] men), ''makkunrai'' (cisgender women), ''[[calabai]]'' (roughly equivalent to [[transgender]] women), and ''[[calalai]]'' (roughly equivalent to transgender men), which combine to form the "meta-gender" of bissu. These genders are still recognized by many Bissu people, mainly those who practice the pre-Islamic religion of the area. It is believed that all five genders must live in harmony for there to be peace in the world, thus the Bugis respect all genders, or at least try in modern times.
