Happy Pride! This is an article from a series they do called Curious Kids, where kids send in questions and get answers from experts. Grandpa instilled in me a love of history and education so I appreciated the lesson itself and that it is addressing kids. There isn't a lack of curiosity or limit of intellectual capabilities preventing kids from understanding gender identities and trans folks. Learning about gender won't just help them understand the world around them, but also themselves.

I'd never heard about this
In the fifth century B.C.E., two Greek authors – Herodotus, known as the father of history, and Hippocrates, the father of medicine – wrote about people they call Anarieis from Scythia, a vast ancient territory to the north and west of the Black Sea that today would be part of Ukraine and Russia. Their descriptions of the Anarieis’ gender are similar to the way many people describe trans women today. Their accounts are supported by what we know about Scythia and Anarieis from anthropologists and archaeologists today.
Which led me to this. TLDR: Transgender prophet stoner priestesses. Which is almost definitely going to be the coolest thing I learn about today.
I do have those moments for straight cis people myself, when I'm hanging around my queer friends or online in queer spaces it can make me pause that there are other folks sometimes.

Not gonna lie, 2.5 millenia later that still describes most of my friends pretty well...
Meanwhile like some days ago I literally forgot cis people were a thing
