I know in some native American cultures, there are five genders instead of two and they all have a role in society. Seems to me like they were getting along well in native american society, before the europeans attempted to converted them to Protestant Christianity values. At the time, they would rather kill the Native American savages or “pagans” in an attempt to “save them in the name of Jesus Christ”. So some of the claims on this thread that trans people or other gendered people are destroying society is just full of paranoia. Now I know that different tribes can have variations on the “two -spirit” formulation based on heritage and attempting to fit white cultural norms of linguistics to native american terms, but that just supports my point that when Paul was writing about “homoseuxality”, the term “homosexuality” may have different nuances of meaning pertaining to that specific era or Greek/Roman culture audience he was writing to.
I saw a comment that someone made on a 2 spirited yotube video that really encapsulates this point. It says “It is obvious that we are born from spirits of both a mother and a father. That makes two spirits in a body. Both are vital even though one may be suppressed and the other expressed in the world. I am physically a male and the suppression of my female personality caused very bad sociopathic personality in me. thank fully I outgrew those behaviors”
To me that sounds like toxic masculinity in men raised in two-gender cultural/religious backgrounds.
