Take a look at this eye-opening thread on cultures around the world & their perspective of gender identity.

Gender is and always has been more fluid than the male/female binary!

[Openly 🏳️‍🌈 @Openly]

The gender binaries of "male" and "female" aren't as universal as you think 🌍

From Samoa 🇼🇸 to Albania 🇦🇱, here are eight cultures throughout history showing that the concept of non-binary gender is far from new 🧵👇

[Openly 🏳️‍🌈 @Openly]

Metis (Nepal) 🇳🇵

Officially recognised as a third gender in Nepal in 2007, metis have a long history in the Himalayan region. Assigned male at birth, they assume a traditional feminine appearance.

Nepal set a global precedent with a third gender category on official documents.

[Openly 🏳️‍🌈 @Openly]

Hijras (South Asia) 🌏

The centuries-old third gender, associated with sacred powers, usually refers to those assigned male at birth but don't identify as such.

In 2014, India legally recognised hijras as a third gender after they were criminalised by the British in 1871

[Openly 🏳️‍🌈 @Openly]

Fa’afafine (Samoa) 🇼🇸

Identifying as a separate gender, fa’afafines' roles in society move fluidly between the traditional male and female.

While they're assigned male at birth, Samoa also recognises fa’afatama – an equally fluid gender for those assigned female at birth

[Openly 🏳️‍🌈 @Openly]

Two-spirit (North America) 🌎

Identifying with masculinity and femininity, indigenous North American two-spirit people are often said to contain both male and female 'spirits'.

They're often revered in their communities, seen as a channel between the physical and spiritual

Happy International Asexuality Day ❤️

⚫ Asexuality is no or low sexual attraction to others

⚫ Some asexual people still have sex, some do not

⚫ Asexual people are not broken and do not need fixed

⚫ Asexuality is a spectrum

It’s the first #InternationalAceDay! I see you, my ace friends. Whether you’re out or not, you’re YOU. That’s valid and the very best thing you can be.

Happy International Asexuality Day!

We love seeing our Ace friends showing their pride & owning their identities! ☺️

Ace folk are whole, valid and deserving of love ♠️💜

[Stonewall @stonewalluk]

Happy #InternationalAsexualityDay! Ace people have always been part of the LGBT+ community but are often erased from the narrative. Follow @IADofficial and read our tips on how can you be a good ally to asexual people 👇 https://t.co/ierHVZ3UgP

[Tell Me Why 🏳️‍⚧️ @TellMeWhyGame]

This #TransDayofVisibility, here's to our trans family who aren't as visible as they'd like to be — those who aren't yet able or ready to share who they are, and those still figuring things out.

We're thinking of you, and we're sending you all our love and support. 🏳️‍⚧️#TDoV
