The statement in the last section about the complexities of lhamana people doesn't really clarify anything. Do lhamana people choose life/sexual partners of the same sex, switch back and forth depending on their current gender role, or what? StarHOG (Talk) 16:56, 1 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
- I think the statements are clear. The identity is not based on sexual orientation / attraction / who their partner is / or even if they have a partner at all. The framing is within the particular cultural understanding of social and ceremonial roles held by the Zuni people. It involves cultural context that not everyone is going to understand. There's only so much we can do about this, because to some extent it involves cultural immersion that can't be replaced by reading an encyclopedia article (no matter how well we write it). Some of that information either isn't shared with those outside the culture, or may not make sense to cultural outsiders without that lived context. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 20:42, 1 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
- Well, I have no problem with explaining something as if this was an encyclopedia, because it kinda is. And your explanation above is about 10 times better then what is currently in the article. And, forgive me for being culturally illiterate or insensitive, but I don't think it is too hard to state whether or not lhamana's engage in homosexual relationships when they are currently representing the opposite gender.
