It's all know-it-all teenagers who've been told by dishonest pseudo-intellectuals that the world was some kind of magical gender wonderland before "colonialism."

Cultures that ended up with third gender categories tended to be cultures obsessed with categories where gendered behavior was rigidly enforced. The additional gender categories were invented because you had to put gender non-conforming individuals (usually men) somewhere.
