Discuss: Racism is implicit in denials of non-binary gender identities.

Things to Consider:

many Native American tribes (pre-conquest) acknowledged more than two genders

in the indigenous Zapotec culture of Oaxaca, Mexico, muxes are people who identify as trans or beyond a single gender

Judaism has recognized six genders for thousands of years

when they came to power in India, British colonists enforced the subjugation of the hijra (third gender, trans, intersex) community

Estas Cholitas me dan vida 💜✊🏽🦋 “As recently as 10 years ago, Bolivia’s indigenous Aymara and Quechua women were socially ostracised and systematically marginalised. Known as ‘cholitas’, these women, recognisable by their wide skirts, braided hair and bowler hats, were banned from using public transport and entering certain public spaces. Their career opportunities were severely limited. While these women have been organising and advocating their civil rights since at least the 1960s, their movement was invigorated by Evo Morales’ election as Bolivia’s first indigenous president in 2006.” | vía The Guardian | #bolivia #indigenous #muxeres #luchadoras #tropicalfolk #volcanowomen #theresistance #love #cholitas

Tuvimos una discusión sobre la CEDAW (Comité para la eliminación de la discrimination contra la mujer) en la Naciones Unidas hoy! Me encanto escuchar como las organizaciones Chilenas pueden ayudar y luchar para las Mujeres aquí en Chile. Un mundo sin mujeres no existe! Es tiempo que sean iguales a los hombres. We had a discussion on CEDAW (Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women) at the United Nations today! I loved listening to other organizations and how they want to help and fight for Women in Chile! A world without women does not exist! It's time for women to be as equal as men. #womensrightsarehumanrights #mujeres #muxeres #justyourcasualseattleite (at Naciones Unidas - Santiago, Chile)
