Historically, gender expanded far beyond the bounds of female/male or woman/man. With the evolution of the patriarchy and colonialism, the development of gender binary system has led to the erasure and exclusion of gender non-conforming and transgender individuals (GNCT). Gender expansive individuals who were historically valued, protected, and regarded as spiritual leaders are now subject to institutional barriers resulting in ongoing minority stress that directly impacts their health and well-being. While the gender binary system is deeply ingrained into every inch of our society, it is possible to dismantle the harmful system and move in a direction of a more compassionate, gender expansive society.
