Queer History Project The Gender Binary Is a Big Lie

Author Lee Wind takes the reader on a journey around the world and through history to debunk the idea of a gender binary—including 4,500-year-old third-gender burial sites in the Czech Republic; the Bugis people of southern Sulawesi, Indonesia, who recognize three physical sexes and five genders; and people who identify as gender queer and gender fluid today. Using primary source materials including images of featured historical figures, Wind presents a multi-gender reality that is deeply rooted in history.
