#HotTake: the ephemerally Christianist West has not found a niche of respectability in the patriarchal pyramid for transgender and gender-nonconforming people to fill yet, but has done so (somewhat) for married same-sex couples. Hence, the comparably disproportionate levels of state and non-state violence. #tgnc #tgnb #ThirdGender #Trans #Transgender #Nonbinary

"While recognition of genders outside male and female has only recently been discussed in Western societies, in Hindu society, people of non-binary gender expression have played important roles for over 2000 years."

Somebody should tell Elon Musk that X is the marker used for #thirdGender I'm nations that support this. Given his views on the topic, there's good chances he'll get an aneurysm.

Don't take this map too seriously since I made it on a whim just to give me a good glance on two issues - which countries allow self-id, which allow opt-in third gender for all available genders and which have both. Mostly from skimming wikipedia. Some caveats, like US & Canada are only at federal level, for passports. Other documents depend on state or province.
This is new to me. Undifferentiated? According to some dictionaries, this either means that, like certain cells, I'm not mature or specialized OR that I'm not significantly different.
Plus, of course, if I want to identify as transgender I have to be fully transitioning from one binary gender to another (spoilers: I'm not) and give up on identifying as a binary gender (don't get to be male or female).
Above all, I was quite angry and stunned by the way the Federal Council justifies its decision not to introduce a #thirdgender: with the Constitution, which explicitly prohibits #discrimination on the basis of #gender in article 8 (the third gender is also a gender), with the military and — very important for the greedy bourgeois — with the #conscriptionLevy. They could let #nonbinary and #inter people serve in the army voluntarily — without the compulsory military service levy. 🤷
Other old cultures who were not blinded by false moral ideas had already understood that #homosexuality and #transgender have their natural place and function in society.

Hey #esperanto speakers (especially #genderqueer ones), what is/are the third person neutral pronoun(s)? I saw the debate on ĝi and li, what is commonly used?
I also appreciate any article on gender in esperanto.
