Oh, so we are just going to completely ignore the long history of thai lady boys and them being a sign of status.
Thai culture is pretty different from Chinese culture (compared to other cultures in Southeast Asia). I did somehow forget the existence of Thailand when making my previous comment though, sorry about that.
So are you going to adjust your statement about transgender being a western creation, or are you just going to keep being wrong?
I am not going to adjust my statement. I feel like you are just looking to start an argument and I politely refuse to participate.
Oh, so because you were wrong, you are just down voting and walking away. Got it. That's fine. Points aren't points in lemmy. You can down vote with all your alts, I don't care.
God run away into whatever corner you need to. I'm just really sorry that you were never taught that it's okay to change your opinion when presented with facts.
Best of luck.
My friend, a simple Google search of "historic transgenderism in Asia" brought up plenty of information.
This one has it dating to 1540.
Here's a published paper on it.
I'm pretty sure transgenderism is nothing new throughout all of history in all parts of the world.
But to call it strictly Western is patently false.
And another one.
