Funny you mention that because I went to get me a 6 pack of beer and the white cashier gave me tranny vibe. Bass in its voice and everything
Bull. There's never been a society before us that didn't know the difference between a man and a woman. Coming of age ceremony is different. Not being a man is not the same as being genderless. You're still a male boyIts worth noting that the practice of not gendering (or even not naming your children) isnt that bizare both historically and in contemporaryt times. Many societies have basically considered their children as nonpersons until a formal coming of age ceremony. Some even considered them sexless unitl that same coming of age ceremony. This encapsulates cultures ranging in places from the mediteranian , to the middle east, to mezoamericans, to pacific islanders, to south asians. Obviously none of these places are in harlem
But i will admit that most of these societies basically let their kids become the gender asigned at birth. They werent really doing it with the intention of letting their be a second option of identification for their offspring. It was moreso about hitting a pause button on their personhood. Its been more than half a decade since i was in a mandatory anthro course in college, but off the top of my head, i believe the forebearers of the Persians did this specifically with gender fluidity in mind. So did the forebearers of the Hindu society. According to our old ANTH professor, both societies actually ascribed a special caste to these crossgender individuals and gave them protected class status similar to what California does with its Sanfrancisco residents.
As a sidenote, i never really expected to use this knowldge from those bussy-work , schedule- filler, general-ed classes in my life. Certianly not in a coli thread
That’s not historically accurate though. There are many societies around the world that don’t ascribe to the same philosophies and beliefs about gender as we do in a modern age. In fact none of this is new historically. We fundamentally repeat the same behaviors every generation acting like the problem never existed before. It’s a kick the can down the road situation to avoid real progress in these matters. You’ll see the same patterns looking back and you’ll see the same patterns when you get older. Technology has evolved, how humans view the world and each other has made very slow progress. It’s why I now understand why they say people become more conservative when they get to their older ages. I don’t think conservative is the right word. It’s more like we cling to the back in my day or we did things a certain way and we believe that’s the only right way. It’s how we become like our parents. It’s how we lose our connection to what’s currently going on in the world because we fail to adapt to the changing world as we would rather reject it then comes to terms with the changes
I ain’t gonna engage with you in that level because clearly you don’t have anything to share. Responding with a joke doesn’t absolve you of lack of knowledge.
Don’t forget @Alan Johnson
You're the one making broad assertions with no evidence. The synopsis you posted doesn't say anything about trannies raising kids genderlessly. Post a real source or
