A Map of #GenderDiverse Cultures
By Independent Lens • August 12, 2015
This text and the language in the corresponding map was updated in consultation with a world gender expert* in October, 2023.
NOTE to teachers and students: Some school or corporate domains block custom Google Maps so you may need to log in under a different or personal email address to see the map.
"Throughout recorded history and since time immemorial, thriving cultures have recognized, revered, and integrated more than two genders. Terms such as transgender, gay, or bisexual are Western constructs that often assume three things: that there are only two sexes (male/female), as many as three sexualities (gay/straight/bisexual), and only two genders (man/woman).
"Even after the end of the modern era and as the colonial period wanes, hundreds of distinct Indigenous societies around the globe still retain their own long-established traditions for third, fourth, fifth, or more genders. The subject of Two Spirits, Fred Martinez, for example, was not a boy who wanted to be a girl, but both a boy and a girl—an identity his Navajo culture recognized and revered as nádleehí. Meanwhile, Hina of Kumu Hina is part of a native Hawaiian culture that has traditionally revered and respected mahu, those who embody both male and female spirit. It’s not uncommon for third gender people to perform critical spiritual and religious functions in their communities.
"Among many #Indigenous societies, two prominent features often distinguish the lives and social roles of third gender persons from those of cisgender persons or contemporary transgender persons in non-Indigenous societies. The first is that many Indigenous terms for third gender people contain both the word for 'man' and 'woman' in their construction, and that third gender people are seen as embodying both of those genders in diverse ways. The second is that the history of many third genders is in the community role of religious specialists, which also takes diverse forms, depending on the beliefs of diverse cultures. While not all third gender persons are defined in these terms, across our species, this phenomenon of the third gender religious specialist, healer, or spiritual worker has been part of our collective identity and human experience since time immemorial.
"Take a tour with this world map, and learn how many cultures see gender diversity."

Dawnland -- a must-see documentary. It's not available online -- find (or schedule) a showing through Dawnland.org. DVD copies are available at many libraries!
"In an untold story of indigenous child removal, the stakes of family separation policy are no less than cultural survival.
"About the Documentary:
"They were forced to assimilate into white society: children ripped away from their families, depriving them of their culture and erasing their identities. Can reconciliation help heal the scars from childhoods lost? Dawnland is the untold story of Indigenous child removal in the US through the nation’s first-ever government-endorsed truth and reconciliation commission, which investigated the devastating impact of Maine’s child welfare practices on the Wabanaki people.
"The Wabanaki are the people who are there to greet the light, 'the people of the dawn,' in the upper Northeast. For decades, Maine’s child welfare system placed Wabanaki children in foster or adoptive homes under the presumption that assimilating into white society would improve their quality of life and give them a better future. Many children in the system suffered untold physical and psychological abuse. Their story brings to light how getting to the heart of the truth can offer a flicker of hope."

While separated by over two decades, Bill Weiss’s Now Hiring and Chandler Levack’s I Like Movies both utilize the retail environment — the independent movie house and the video rental store — as a laboratory for exploring the intersection of professional stagnation, romantic confusion, and the intellectual hierarchies of film consumption.

Big news in my consulting journey:
I’ve started a new collaboration with LansdowneMoritz, supporting their biomethane strategy – starting in Spain, in partnership with Low Carbon.
This adds to my independent work helping investors and developers across Europe. The biomethane movement is gaining real momentum – and I’m thrilled to be in the thick of it.
