hillerylutzow :

Honestly, I think most body dysphoria is due to modern Western culture, not the person afflicted.

mikhail wong 🪶 (he/him) :

why does it seem that so many cultures will have a term for people born male but end up aligning more with femininity or androgyny compared to people born female and aligning with masculinity or androgyny?

✨ 🍄 Julie 🍄 ✨ :

I love learning about other people’s culture. So amazing

K. :

are there more masculine (female at birth) muxes or is that a whole different category ??

Monty :

WATCH EL SECRETO DEL RIO on Netflix!!! Gave me such a great view of Muxes 🥰

Daria Vigil :

I’ve heard of a few cultures that accept/celebrate feminine males are there any that equally accept/celebrate masculine females. Please forgive the binary wording, it’s just the easiest way to ask the question.

Soul Flow :

Packing my bags and moving to a country/town that’s inclusive, what a dream!

daniel :

very cool! i never knew this was a thing

FluffyNimbuscloud :

I’d love if you could do videos over other old cultures that have more than two genders. My partner is very confused about it and asked me to show him examples of it in other cultures than ours. Thank you for making this one!!

TyeroneJohnson||IndieAuthor :

This reminds me of an anthropology course I took in college where we learned about Hijra, third gender people recognized in India for centuries.

Oddity :

Gods I love our world and seeing all the cool ass things it creates and inspires. Adding this festival to the list of things I want to see in person

MimiManifested :

I think they have these types of people in Samoan culture too. I could be wrong though and will stand corrected if need be.

🌸エリサ🌸 :

Is it similar to a two spirit?

Wind Rider :

Every human being naturally has both male and female energy inside them. We have the potential to be whatever we like, humans are remarkably flexible and dynamic. It is ultimately what you choose for yourself that is what you are....and that choice is always right

zadman :

I've met many zapotec people in Oaxaca, a lovely, industrious and deeply creative people

Author's Note :

That is the LAST pronunciation I would have guessed for Oaxaca

Sea :

love to see it 🖤

Ramada 🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇭 :

Thank u for this 🫶🏽

Isabella :

This is so cool! I recently wrote about a third gender in India, and it’s so cool to think about the similarities and differences.

Squirrelface🇩🇴🇵🇷 :

This is so beautiful 😍

I.Hernandez :

🧜🏻‍♀️ :

so basically enforcing gender roles and stereotypes?

scruntle :

The term assigned implies that the doctor just chose for them their gender, as if another doctor could have assigned them something else if they chose to. It's such a manipulative way to say "born as"

🐦‍🔥FieryPhoenixRising🐦‍🔥 :

I love finding other genderfluid individuals from around the world. 🥰🥰🥰

Melk_404 :

Ngl I’m a little confused by the “those of us that grew up in a strict European binary, can’t really understand” part. I understand that cultural differences especially those centered around gender can be shocking at first to any group. But with cultural exposure/understanding, education, and support, I’d imagine most people would get it regardless of background. Saying that kind of just feels like a copt out, for labeling it as different/weird n moving on rather than trying for acceptance. I could be wrong here tho. Are there any sources that support her claim?
