A Map of Gender-Diverse Cultures

A Map of Gender-Diverse Cultures is an interactive online map from PBS that highlights societies around the world with longstanding traditions of gender diversity. Each entry shares brief context about specific identities and roles, showing that nonbinary and third-gender categories are not new or uniquely Western. Parents of teens appreciate how it broadens conversations about gender beyond a single cultural lens and encourages respectful curiosity. As a free resource with concise, well-presented entries, it’s a powerful supplement to history and social studies.
