Gender is very societally boxed and policed everywhere ...
I have trans friends in the Philippines which is pretty trans friendly but even so - until recently their culture has had 4 genders -
- essentially cis male and female (ultra masc and femme, via Spanish colonial influences) plus
- "bakla" (essentially trans female) and
- "tomboy" (essentially trans male) plus both the trans ids are historically heavily conflated with sexuality stereotyping
It's changing their too ... becoming more diverse in the u25s
@Natasha_Jay @LukaLoginska I grew up in the Shetland Islands where gender was considered binary when I was young. Recently we sold our home to friends whom we look on as family, a transgender woman and her partner. They tell us the community has been welcoming and helpful, which makes me hopeful for the future of my former home. Familiarity breeds acceptance and better people.
