    Hi Ladies

    The link appended below is, in my view, a fascinating Native American perspective on gender diversity within its communities prior to Christian indoctrination and influence. Quote: “In Native American Indian culture “people who had both female and male characteristics were viewed as gifted by nature, and therefore, able to see both sides of everything. According to ‘Indian Country Today’, all native communities acknowledged the following gender roles: Female, Male, Two Spirit Female, Two Spirit Male, and Transgendered. See the link below to what is a great read”.

    I feel this thinking was a lot more common but was lost at the time of the transition to agriculture.

    At the transition to agriculture violence increase dramatically and health decreased. It doesn’t make sense unless the farming of wheat was for war. just a thought.
