In Indonesia a man who believes he is born with the soul of a woman is called a waria. The word waria is a mixture of the words, “wanita” (w0man) and “pria” (man). Waria culture in Indonesia is very diverse, being a waria can mean very differet things. It encompasses in America what we may consider transgender, drag queen, and/or effeminate gay men, but all warias see themselves as having a strong feminine soul.
