In pre-colonial India "tritiya prakriti" was an umbrella term encompassing all sterile, non-heterosexual, and transgender people. "Napumsa(ka)" and "nastriya" specified men and women, respectively, who were sterile for some physical reason. They could enter unions using the gandharva form of marriage, but rarely were allowed to inherit property, and were not required to perform the sraddha and huta sacrifices.[3]
