History on Non-binary

 By Vivi In this post, I will write a brief history on non-binary people, mainly in the US. Early Times While it wasn't until the 1990s when the term "transgender" was used widely, there has been non-binary people throughout history.  ・ Gala and galli (priests assigned male at birth who cross genders in their worship of a variety of goddesses in ancient Sumer, Akkadia, Greece, and Rome) ・Two-spirit people within Indigenous communities  ・ Hijra (nonbinary people who inhabit ritual roles in South Asia) Mid-20th century During the 1950s, transgender rights activists started to push for wider societal acceptance in the US. ・1952 - Christine Jorgensen became the first visible transsexual in the media in the US ・1959 - Transgender people, drag queens, and others fought back against Los Angeles police who had been targeting trans women in random arrests at Cooper Do-nuts (a café popular with the LGBTQ community) ・1960 - Establishment of Transvestia (magazine for the tr...

But did you know that there are some cultures that have always recognized and valued various gender identities other than the conventional gender categories, long before the word "gender identity" was invented? And often in those cultures, people who identify themselves as something different are considered sacred and suitable for serving as priests and ceremonial leaders.

Hijras are said to have the ability to bless others and often occupy religious and spiritual positions. 2. Calalai, Calabai, and Bissu... Th...
