Which of these traditional societies recognized trans people's status, and regarded them as valuable members of the community?
a. Navajo
b. Chukchi
c. Ancient Rome
d. All of these
The answer is D, all of these!
And many more as well. The Navajo recognized three sexes, male, female, and nadle, a self-defined group considered both and neither. In Rome, the physically male Gallae ceremonially became female. Every society around the world has recognised transsexuality as a fact, and in hunter-gatherer societies it is, and was, common for trans people to hold an exalted status.
