Encouraging celibacy - interesting comment on the subject...

[Guest guest]

Don't use the term third gender (trtiya-prakrti). It is such a wildly

incorrect mental speculation. The third gender in sanskrit is neuter. There

is no such term in relationship to people. Please stick to English and don't

speculate in Sanskrit. In English you are welcome to speculate and invent

your own words and categories (because you won't be able to fool anyone as

we all know English).
