Abstract
This article investigates a social phenomenon asking how a bisexual person has become a spirit medium to create their social space. The study found that the third sex medium tactically used a cultural sacred area such as spiritual dance, folktale, legend and medium for making their own social space and tried to escape from a social stigmatization being a third sex, and lifelong precarity. They used the power of sacred thing for negotiating and grabbing a social meaning since the sacred area had a special character that is capable for meaning making indefinitely. This sacred place thus has become a special area for them to express their self-esteem without the limitation of sex and social status.
