“all 5 genders must coexist for there to be universal harmony. If one of the
genders is separated then the world will become
unbalanced”~ spiritual leader of the Bissu
“a people should not long for their own image”

Gender in Nature
A small sample of the diversity of gender expression in the natural
world
A note about language: Language has limitations.
Most of the modern concepts around gender were not developed until the second half of the century so many terms do not translate through history, to other cultures, or to nature.
For the purposes of this presentation I will use the term transgender
Transgender is “an umbrella term…uniting all those whose gender identity does not easily mesh with their gender assigned at birth”

Whether visible or not there have always been transgender people
in every color of the human rainbow, in every time in history,
in every country of the world, in every class of work.
Transgender people are kings and queens,
soldiers and artists, ambassadors and doctors…
