    The Erasure and Reclamation of Gender Diversity

    The Erasure and Reclamation of Gender Diversity

    In this compelling episode, we explore the intricate intersection of gender diversity, colonization, and its lasting impact on the transgender community. We journey back to the roots of human civilization, highlighting the historical recognition of gender diversity in Indigenous societies and the roles these individuals played. We then delve into the disruptive influence of colonization, and how it systematically suppressed and erased these identities, imposing a strict binary gender system. We discuss how this historical erasure has contributed to the marginalization of the transgender community today, and how they're bravely fighting to reclaim their space, identity, and rights. We invite listeners to reflect on these historical contexts and their current-day implications, emphasizing the importance of understanding our past to advocate for a more inclusive future.

No trans in Ancient Rome

Stop spreading blatant disinformation about history. Nobody has ever thought that men could become women and was taken seriously because it’s not true. It never will be true.

Lies

Transgenderism i nothing but a lie!A man can’t be a woman and a woman can’t be a man!Its a scientific fact!! if they expect you to believe this lie, they expect you to believe other lies! And this is called freedom of speech. It’s the truth and it’s been a fact for thousands of years!

Treebert ,

What is a woman?

Of course Apple would promote this one. And to the reviewer saying that trans people have never hurt anyone…Covenant School? But aside from that, trans people hurt themselves by not accepting who they truly are, opting instead for self inflicted mutilation in hopes to become a pale impression of what they will never be. Accept yourself for who you are - who you truly are.
