  1. Yeah, the Greeks kinda went back and forth on how they treated women...mostly back. Ironically, dictatorial Sparta with its absurd level of machoness was probably the best, and (sometimes) democratic Athens, the worst...kinda got to pick and choose what to take from those city states there.

  2. GeneralGoth yeah, that magic & healing combo is nearly universal for tribal cultures that accept non-binary people. It's kinda interesting how consistent it is.

  3. Maniacman2030 except that models of gender that aren't just male=man/female=woman can be found in plenty of societies of varrying levels of development from modern to hunter-gatherer, even in societies that do have a gender binary the roles differ significantly across time and region, intersexed people exist, we have brain scans that can show differences between cis- and transgendered individuals, behavioral and mental aptitude differences between sexes do not show clear distinctions (instead show mere tendencies), and (much like homosexuality) attempts to change how a person feels to how they look only result in negative mental health outcomes. So that means the fields anthropology, history, neurology, behavioral psychology, cognitive psychology, and psychotherapy all oppose rigid gender binaries. 6 fields of study agreeing is pretty solid support, and we have prescient for the same argument we're having today over trans-acceptance back with gay acceptance (which was also labeled as a mental disorder with some pretty horrific history of "correction treatments")
