I would really appreciate it if you could point me towards further reading on this! It sounds par for the course with the transhumanists stepping in & ruining everything they touch!

Hi Riff, a book that I am very fond of is Sobonfu Some's "Spirit of Intimacy." I don't know if you like this book, it is written by a wise tribal woman about being a woman in her culture. I'll say in a second why I mention it here. When I read it I cried many times because that kind of wisdom and joy has been stolen from the people of the "civilized" world, and nobody teaches kids (girls in particular) just how much fun it is to be fully alive and connected to ones Creator-given gifts and joys and how honoring it is to be a woman (or a man for a man, or one of other combinations if that is what one is born with in earnest). So she mainly talks about the female perspective on human intimacy and relationships, as it is understood in her village. But she also mentions their views on gender relations and combinations in general.
It is worth remembering that different old cultures were not at all identical to each other. There is some common shared foundations, which probably came from older older days of knowledge, but customs vary a lot, and so when modern people draw generalizations on the way old cultures approached sexual unions, for example, it usually speaks of a lack of knowledge.
Thank you so much Tessa! IтАЩm not familiar with the book but I ordered it now! I expect it will be something weтАЩll enjoy sharing with our daughter! The article on Native American culture is fascinating; thank you again!ЁЯЩПЁЯП╝ЁЯШК

To your question specifically, here is a reference, I would recommend it as food for thought and an opinion, there are probably many ways to look at it. https://ictnews.org/archive/two-spirits-one-heart-five-genders
