That is meaningless. Just because numerous cultures recognized people had an issue doesn't mean. They actually thought of them as the opposite sex.
That's not true. They are not considered women. They don't consider themselves as women.
Muxes, a group long recognized within the indigenous Zapotec people of Mexico, are often referred to as a third gender. Embodying characteristics of both men and women, their existence challenges the gender binary that is so deeply entrenched in Western society.
“We are people of two spirits,” Felina Santiago says in the Oaxaca episode of “Eva Longoria: Searching for Mexico.” “We are the duality, neither man nor woman. You are neither less nor more.”
Everyone recognizes that transgender people exist. Why wouldn't we. They are all over the place. But that doesn't mean they are actually the opposite sex. It means they are confused. And if they are ill enough they start undergoing treatments to get as close to the opposite sex as they can. But they are not. A man is never a woman and a woman is never a man. They have a mental illness. It's no different than being bi-polar or having schizophrenia. Things like that happen within the human species.
We all recognize that. However not everyone who claims to be transgender is actually transgender. We actually have no way of really knowing if someone is or isnt. If we really could tell Affirmative Care wouldn't exist. Becauae Affirmative Care never questions whether someone is or isn't. It accepts and affirms that someone is.
The real question is what do we do about it? If someone says they are trans, what is the requirement of the rest of us.
There really are only two genders, male and female. Being trans isn't seen as a third gender.
