    Indigenous peoples have acknowledged a “third gender” aka non binary for centuries - way before colonization.

    How can you say self identifying in regards to sex/gender is a recent ideology when it’s been part of human history for centuries?

    Sounds like bland, generic, thoughtless conservative nonsense to eliminate other perspectives (especially when you discount them as new despite existing for centuries)

      It hasn’t though. People are now using absurd leaps to try and pretend that it has been around for centuries, but it hasn’t. Got some links to these “third gender” stories?

          lol “two spirit = third gender”

          Those links say that the indigenous people used “two spirit” to refer to homosexuals. That’s not at all like “self identifying”.
