I agree with this. There is a really sexist, homophobic strain of creepy white dudes with anime profile pics identifying as "trans" nowadays, but many different cultures have terms for what GC would call "HSTS" trans people -- though some of the terms, like hijra, are quite derogatory and in general these "third gender" males (never heard of one for AFAB people) are afforded a low status in society.
