Hablando de género
Yoga implica consciencia, también emancipación.
Aquí compartimos la lista de los géneros reconocidos actualmente. Esta lista está en movimiento perpetuo, no está fija. Me parece importante estar actualizadxs al de los términos que buscan definirse a unx mismx con más libertad de la normatividad, con la posibilidad justamente de la indefinición.
Cuando hablamos de género, es importante distinguir tres dimensiones:
1- la expresión del género,
2-la preferencia sexual
3- la identidad de género.

Falling under the transgender umbrella, transsexual is a word that was medically and historically used to indicate a difference between one’s gender identity (i.e., the internal experience of gender) and sex assigned at birth (as male, female, or intersex).
Transsexual is often (though not always) used to communicate that one’s experience of gender involves a medical diagnosis or medical changes — such as hormones or surgery — that help alter anatomy and appearance to feel more congruent with gender identity.
Due to a fraught history, the word transsexual can be contentious and shouldn’t be used unless someone specifically asks to be referred to this way.

This term indicates the number of gender identities someone experiences but doesn’t necessarily indicate which genders are included in a given person’s trigender identity.

This umbrella term was created by Native American communities to bring traditional Indigenous understandings of gender and sexuality into Western and contemporary native education and literature.
Each First Nation tribe has its own understanding and meaning of what it means to be two-spirit, so this term can have many definitions.
Two-spirit generally refers to a gender role believed to be a common, acknowledged, accepted, and praised gender classification among most First Nation communities, dating back centuries.
