I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Berdache or Two-Spirit yet:
Two-spirit people (also two spirit or twospirit) is an umbrella term sometimes used for what was once commonly known as berdaches /bərˈdæʃɨz/, indigenous North Americans who fulfill one of many mixed gender roles in First Nations and Native American tribes.
Third gender roles historically embodied by two-spirit people include performing work and wearing clothing associated with both men and women. The presence of male two-spirits "was a fundamental institution among most tribal peoples."[1] According to Will Roscoe, male and female two-spirits have been "documented in over 130 North America tribes, in every region of the continent."[2]

The hebrews hated them for being the same as them but not them. That's why they were hated and despised. Bit tenuous.

Polite ineffectual middle class atheist angels would be excellent. Angels culturally modeled on dawkins.
They're supposed to be sexless, but OT etc generally gave them male names. More recent art depicts angels, seraphs, and cherubim etc who look more like androgynous/females than castrated/androgynous/males.

well modern depictions do go for the fey/legolas/eflfin adrogyny, but you can almost smell the beard and denim coming from Michael

so a tweet that basically says get off your arse young people and start protesting about housing or don't expect anyone to give a shit is "victim blaming to the highest degree" according to stavvers
and now its all about shiv and stavvers, and not housing
shiv's pompous responses aside, this stuff is now actively shutting down real stuff
victim blaming!!!

Like mildly successful rock bands who record songs about how terrible life on the road is.

I saw the point you were making, but it was crude, and, to repeat myself yet again, your analogy sucked whale dick.

Number 4 will be especially embarrassing if/when Labour hand him a cushy spad gig or something.
I don't think he's interested in money money money, it's more that proximity to power does funny things to people.
I don't want your money honey, give me regular access to the cabinet and the read the papers slot on Skynews

Hmmm, parts of Judaism pull the "sex and gender are the same thing, and a binary" schtick, but it wasn't universalised across every Judaic sect, whereas because of the speedy hegemony of the Catholic church, by about 400AD it had been. It became doctrine (and dogma) across western Christianity, and couldn't be gainsaid right up until (arguably) the late 19th century.

2017 will be good. Apologism for (or limp scolding of) midterm Labour combined with Russian rev anniversary fapping.
