A Map of Gender-Diverse Cultures
This text and the language in the corresponding map was updated in consultation with a world gender expert in October, 2023.
"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 #TwoSpirits, 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 #NativeHawaiian 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 #ThirdGender 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 #CollectiveIdentity and human experience since time immemorial.
"Since the beginning of the 21st century, we’ve seen tremendous expansion of the role that transgender, #GenderDiverse, and third gender people have in society, following the tenuous establishment of civil rights for #gay and #lesbian people in many nations and increased access to #genderaffirming care in the transgender community. Many Indigenous transgender people who also identify as third gender are familiar to large audiences via their participation in popular media or social media activism. Third gender people, like the Japanese-Samoan, #Faafafine artist Yuki Kihara, now participate in major global cultural events and function not just as representatives of their gender-based community, but of their nation. Kihara had both a solo exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and represented New Zealand at the 2021 Venice Biennale. [For more: '#LGBTQIA+ Pride and Two-Spirit People' in Smithsonian Voices.]
"In the 21st century, many third gender people choose to take advantage of #GenderAffirmingCare, and identify, in addition to being third gender, as transgender. As access to gender-affirming care parallels healthcare access, and both third gender and Indigenous persons are often marginalized economically, it is not as readily available to many Indigenous transgender people, and within Indigenous cultures, medical transition is often seen as separate or secondary to social transition.
"Within #Western societies, despite centuries of suppression, there are still traces of a past when third or fourth or more genders were recognized within many cultures and societies. In rare cases, they presently exist. An example of this would be the #burrnesha of Albania, women who give up their social role as women to live as men. Likewise, within Jewish culture and law, as many as eight genders have been historically recognized, and in diverse ways.
"Take a tour with this world map, and learn how many cultures see gender diversity."

as trans women flock to minnesota, providers are struggling to keep up with demand. waiting lists are months or years long, and many of us worry that our healthcare will be made inaccessible or downright illegal in the coming months.
our soon-to-be co-op for gender affirming care is growing quickly, and could grow even faster with your help! please chip in a few bucks to any of our open collective tiers and/or boost this post to help out trans women who are getting facial hair removal or preparing for bottom surgery!

Got myself a gender-affirming household device today — the BBQ Scrub Daddy!
As can be seen in the product images on the packaging, it is:
- Water Activated!
- Protected by heat-resistant ArmorTec STEEL™!
- Designed for heavy duty scouring
- Exclusive Materials to control my scrubbing power!
- Integrated bottle opener for that cold brewski I definitely have earned now, after cleaning up my own messThere's even a small cut-out in the box where you can touch the sponge and FEEL THE DIFFERENCE before purchase.
Sure, hoping it's a nice scubber for the grill, but man, do they go overboard with assuring me this is a super masculine product for real men. Thinking this is probably a subsidiary of #EagleTactical
(And oh, that "water activated" feature is the fact that if you soak it in water and directly use it on your hot grill, it WILL produce steam. Cool.)

The fucking DAY I get contacted to set up surgery consultation for gender affirming surgery is the same day the U.S. House passed an anti-trans bill that would ban federal Medicaid funds from being used for gender affirming care services. The inhumanity of it all is exactly how fascism works. 🙄😭 #trans #genderaffirming #lgbtq #transgender #medicine #healthcare

PSA: gender affirming care for cis people looks like:
-- ED medication
-- HRT (post-menopause, testosterone replacement)
-- fertility treatments/IVF
-- muscle enhancers
-- breast augmentation/reduction
-- penis implants
-- rhinoplasty, face lift
-- lip/cheek/other filler
-- anti-aging treatments
-- hair plugs, eyelash growth
-- liposuction
-- name changeGo forth & ruin Memorial Day ✨

Looks like the American Association of University Professors agrees with me!
#AAUP, Allies Sue over #Trump Policy of Arresting and Threatening to Deport #Students and #Faculty for #LawfulSpeech
"The national AAUP; chapters at #Harvard, #Rutgers, and #NYU; and the #MiddleEastStudies Association today filed a lawsuit seeking to block the Trump administration from carrying out large-scale arrests, detentions, and deportations of noncitizen students and faculty members who participate in #ProPalestinian #protests and other protected #FirstAmendment activities.
"We believe that the administration’s ideological-deportation policy violates the First Amendment by targeting constitutionally protected speech that Americans have a right to hear and engage with. The policy has created a climate of fear and repression on campuses around the country. We are represented in the case by the #KnightFirstAmendmentInstitute at #ColumbiaUniversity, #AhilanArulanantham, and Zimmer, Citron & Clarke LLP.
"Following executive orders issued by President Trump in January, the federal agencies that enforce immigration laws have arrested and detained several people associated with U.S. colleges and universities, including a legal permanent resident, on the basis of constitutionally protected speech and association.
"Today’s filing argues that the ideological-deportation policy has created a climate of #repression and intense fear on university #campuses, 'terrorizing students and faculty for their exercise of First Amendment rights in the past, intimidating them from exercising those rights now, and silencing political viewpoints that the government disfavors.'
"'The Trump administration is going after international #scholars and students who speak their minds about #Palestine, but make no mistake: they won't stop there. They'll come next for those who teach the history of #slavery or who provide #GenderAffirming health care or who research #ClimateChange or who counsel students about their reproductive choices. We all have to draw a line together—as the old labor movement slogan says: an injury to one is an injury to all,' says AAUP President Todd Wolfson.
"'The First Amendment means the government can’t arrest, detain, or deport people for lawful political expression—it’s as simple as that. This practice is one we’d ordinarily associate with the most repressive political regimes, and it should have no place in our democracy,' says #JameelJaffer, executive director at the Knight First Amendment Institute."

#VivianJennaWilson on Being #ElonMusk’s Estranged Daughter, Protecting #TransYouth and Taking on the #Right Online
In Teen Vogue’s special issue cover story, the estranged 20-year-old daughter of Elon #Musk talks about the 'cartoonishly evil' #Trump administration and being a young #TransWoman today.
By Ella Yurman, Photography by Andy Jackson
March 20, 2025Excerpt:
"Wilson’s vibrant life, full of possibility, underscores the lifesaving power of #GenderAffirming care for young people. As a child, Wilson struggled through #GenderDysphoria and the attendant mental health issues it often causes. She’s horrified by the wave of #AntiTrans legislation targeting young people like her. In the US, her peers are being demonized by the right, and are left undefended by Democrats. One of Trump’s first executive orders upon retaking office attempted to bar federal funding for health care providers that perform gender-affirming care for young people under 19; multiple federal judges have blocked the order from taking effect for now."

Conservatives are cherry pickers. They cherry pick the Bible, they cherry pick scientific research; basically they cherry pick *anything* that confirms their existing worldview and beliefs. Alas, this is the definition of confirmation bias. It’s what fascists have done all along to enforce their morally bankrupt and evil ideology. #lgbtq #trans #medicine #healthcare #science #genderaffirming https://www.advocate.com/politics/trump-hhs-transphobic-website#toggle-gdpr

Defense Secty #Hegseth has both halted all #genderaffirming medical procedures for active-duty service members and frozen all promotions for #military with "a history of #genderdysphoria ."
This is what prejudice and hate, draped in the American flag, looks like. The same memo promises that military #trans folk will be treated "dignity and respect," when the whole rest of the memo is about anything but.

# NY designates state a ‘safe haven’ for trans youth, families and health providers
* #NewYork #Governor #KathyHochul #signed a #bill into #law on Sunday that #designates the #state as a #SafeHaven for #transgender #youth, #families, and #HealthCare #providers.
* The bill #prohibits state and #local #LawEnforcement from #cooperating with #investigations into families who seek #GenderAffirming #care for their #trans #children.
* It also #protects the #health #information of transgender people who seek care in New York, and it #prohibits #discrimination against transgender people in #employment, #housing, and #public #accommodations.
* The bill was passed in response to a record number of anti-LGBTQ+ bills being introduced nationwide.
Hochul said that the bill "sends a clear message that New York is a place where everyone is welcome, regardless of their gender identity."*
* The bill was passed by the New York State #Assembly and #Senate with #overwhelming #bipartisan #support.
* It is the first bill of its kind in the United States.
* The bill is being hailed by LGBTQ+ advocates as a major victory.
* However, some conservative groups have criticized the bill, arguing that it will harm children.
