Part 7: Additionally, a Conflict Theorist would state the source of cissexism being white imperialism. As Laverne Cox pointed out in her Guardian interview, many cultures recognize multiple gender identities: Native American tribes respect [Two-Spirit] individuals, [I]ndigenous Russians acknowledge a third gender, as does the nation of India, and Arctic tribal groups support four to five genders (Nicholson, 2015). Hence, the cisgender gender binary model is largely a social construct instilled and perpetuated by white Europeans and their descendants. With the rise of white imperialism in the Americas and the Caribbean, circa late fifteenth century, Native American cultures suffered genocide as the peoples were raped, murdered, and expelled from the lands they inhabited. Also, West [and Central] African cultures suffered genocide as their peoples were kidnapped, dehumanized, and forced into labor. Therefore, the surviving cultures that would accept transgender beings were either assimilated, taking on cissexism, or further marginalized, remaining gender tolerant (OpenStax College, 2015).
