☭ LGBT, Indigeneity, and Socialism
There has always been more than two genders, worldwide. Only with imperialism, colonialism, and maybe early empires(?) was there any attack upon gender, because gender diverse bodies are inconvenient to imperialist ambitions. LGBTphobia increases when capitalism and imperialism enter. It's hard not to be Marxist if you are LGBT, look at the way gender and sexuality were colonized. It's the imperialism question again, and Marxist Leninism is the answer to that question. Dialectical materialism also proves there are more than 2 genders and people can change their gender.
I highly recommend Transgender Warriors by Leslie Feinberg. And of course, none of this is a replacement for listening to native elders, it is an additional resource.
