Notice the word similarity?

I think the Afghani word is Berdachi (Dancing boy)

Sounds similar to the Albanian word for similar thing.

Albania is both Christian and Muslim and they hate each other.

Baccha

I think that's native actually. I think you're thinking of Baccha, which is the Afghan thing where they sexually abuse little boys. Two very different customs.

WOW!

different cultures sure can be surprising.

Word similarity

Native Americans also have a word for trans type people. They call them "two souled" and "Berdache." It's my understanding that many Berdache are also the Medicine Women of certain tribes.
