It isn’t necessary to dig through history trying to find evidence of different genders. Gender diversity is everywhere in ancient cultures. You have to try not to see it.

Everyone in my high school in 1997 had an idea of what transgender was because I transitioned then. If your high school did not have transgender people, maybe that’s why you, personally, were not aware that we exist. Your lack of awareness of transgender people at your high school, or in your city, or in the history of ancient Greece or Rome or Egypt, it does not mean transgender people never existed anywhere.

Saying that gender “wasn’t a conceptual idea” conflicts with your statement that “the definitions” had to be “taught to us in school.”

My intention was not to directly compare citizenship to gender. I said that not all social constructs are figments of the imagination. Figment of the imagination is not what “social construct” means.

Knowing “if someone is a man or a woman” would not have obviously helped “when it’s time to go hunt a mammoth.” What would have helped is knowing if the friend was skilled at hunting mammoths. Why do you assume cave-ladies were superior at hunting mammoths? I bet some cave-gentlemen were better at it than some cave-ladies were. Or...were you assuming the other way around?

In any case, mammoths are extinct, so the claim that we need easily recognizable, binary, trans-exclusive gender to hunt mammoths is N/A.

I absolutely did comment on your mention of “transracial,” “on purpose.” In my previous comment, I shared my own 2600-word article on the subject, written two years ago, which clearly you did not open, “on purpose.”

You are really not going to convince me that I've been a figment of my imagination since the 1990s or whatever it is that you are here to do. It just isn't going to work.
