Every time someone brings up third gender none of you ask why it’s specific to non-white people, you all just ask “well why can’t I use it”. If you don’t know its significance why do you *want* to use it? What’s the purpose of you using a term you don’t know the meaning of and clearly know nothing about?

Third gender is specific to non-white people because white people were the ones who enforced the gender binary on everyone. Many cultures were openly accepting of and some revered trans and nonbinary people. All of these identities were stripped away from us and so many cultures’ different identities were just stuffed under a single label and called ‘fascinating’ by white anthropologists years after they killed us for it. You didn’t go through it, it’s not for you.
