There is a great article I read this year about the West's tendency to flatten anything not in a rigid binary in other cultures as evidence kd queerness or transness. It's well-meaning but still imposing Western ideals on cultures outside of that. This post made me think of that, so thanks for this!
Thank you for writing this. It was very affirming to read.
