Transgenderism has a long precolonial history in India. Westerners have been heavily propagandized into thinking they are the origin story of progressivism (mostly colonial propoganda to justify genocide) when the truth is history is much less linear and much more complex than they are made to think it is.

I'm not suprised that the propoganda exists. But I am in awe when the worldview it promotes is still held by many today. Perhaps the consequence of having a wholly inadequate education system.
