WHAT WOULD YOU SAY: Do Ancient Cultures’ ‘Third Genders’ Prove Transgender Ideology?
Advocates of transgenderism often point to the fact that some ancient cultures recognized what is termed a “third gender” for individuals who did not seem to conform to the male and female descriptions. Since ancient cultures recognized that gender is not merely “binary,” nor strictly defined by biological realities, then we should as well, according to the ideologues.
In the following 5:12 “What Would You Say” video from the Colson Center, we learn that the ancient terms don’t mean what contemporary transgender advocates would like the rest of us think they did.
The Native American term for an alleged third gender — the “Two Spirit” — referred to a “man who acted like a woman,” thereby assuming the reality of the male and female binary classification. Indeed, when we hear the claim today that somebody can be “born into the wrong body,” the binary must be assumed, otherwise, it’s a nonsense statement.
