I chose the article “The Zuni Man-Woman” by Will Roscoe. The idea of the Zuni lhamana as a third and even a fourth gender resists the Western notion that gender should be ascribed solely based on biological sex. In this day and age that is just beginning to re-examine gender as a spectrum, I thought it was important to reflect on cultures that have uplifted and honored these non-binary identities long before the modern Western concept of gender.
