Nonbinary erasure: Difference between revisions

Acknowledging only two genders is a Western concept, one that was exported to other nations through colonialism.  [[Nonbinary identities worldwide|Other cultures]] acknowledged more than two genders.  For instance, India acknowledged Third Gender as a non-binary gender. In North America, certain native American tribes recognize two-spirit as a non-binary gender. It should be noted that while Third Gender and two-spirit are names for non-binary genders, non-binary people who do not herald from these cultures should not adopt these terms to describe themselves.
