We'wha seated on the floor weaving a traditional belt using a backstrap loom in a simple indoor setting.
A death which caused universal regret and distress in Zuni was that of We'wha, undoubtedly the most remarkable member of the tribe. This person was a man wearing woman's dress, and so carefully was his sex concealed that for years the writer believed him to be a woman. Some declared him to be an hermaphrodite, but the writer gave no credence to the story, and continued to regard We’wha as a woman and as he was always referred to by the tribe as “she”--it being their custom to speak of men who don woman’s dress as if they were women--and as the writer could never think of her faithful and devoted friend in any other light, she will continue to use the feminine gender when referring to We'wha. She was perhaps the tallest person in Zuni certainly the strongest, both mentally and physically. Her skin was much like that of the Chinese in color, many of the Zunis having this complexion. During six months' stay in Washington he became several shades lighter. She had a good memory, not only for the lore of her people, but for all that she heard of the outside world. She spoke only a few words of English before coming to Washington, but acquired the language with remarkable rapidity, and was soon able to join in conversation. She possesses an indomitable will and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Her likes and dislikes were intense. She would risk anything to serve those she loved, but
"[We'wha] was a man wearing woman's dress, and so carefully was his sex concealed that for years the writer believed him to be a woman...and continued to regard We’wha as a woman and as he was always referred to by the tribe as 'she'"

Robert Eads - a thin, blond-haired man in a blue shirt with a silver cross pendant visible over the top stands in a room, flipping through what looks like a roll of addresses or phone numbers. He looks across the room, as if at someone else sitting there
Eads sought emergency treatment, receiving a devastating diagnosis of ovarian cancer.
More than a dozen different doctors refused to medically treat him, on the grounds that taking him as a patient might harm their practice.

A blue tile with words; "Trans History," underlined as the subject and a second header that reads; "The Hijra Community." This is the focus today. These words then appear; "Historical records from around 1206 CE mentioned gender diverse communities in South Asia, including people known today as The #Hijras." A small piece of text on the bottom of the slide says swipe, with an arrow indicating that the reader should swipe right to the next slide
A pink slide with the following words; The word Trans History is underlined as the subject. The following words are highlighted in bold, large letters; The #Hijras in the Delhi Sultanate. Then there's a paragraph of text that states: "During the Deli Sultanate beginning in 1206 CE, Hijras were recorded serving as royal advisors, administrators & military officers in the courts of the rulers." There is then a small piece of text reading, "swipe", with an arrow pointing right, indicating that the reader should swipe right to the next slide
A white tile with the words; "Trans History," underlined in light purple. They is then the word or words; " Recognition Today.' In bold, large text. Both have been capitalized with the first letter. There is then a block of text that reads; "Hijras have legal recognition as a third gender in many South Asian countries, including India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh." How else does your community support gender divers people?
#Gender #Diversity has existed for centuries. The #Hijra of South Asia have been documented to 1206 CE.
Today, Hijras are legally recognised in several countries including India, Pakistan & Bangladesh, reminding us that gender diversity is not a new idea #Trans #TransHistory #Lgbtq #LearnOnBlueSky
