Hello comrades, So a couple weeks ago, I came across this thread by Luna.

It was interesting to me because I don’t know a lot about the specifics of LGBTQ “normalization” in ancient Vietnamese culture; all I do know is that it used to be normal and due to colonialism, that is gone now. What are some examples of LGBTQ people being normalized in Vietnamese culture historically, and where can I read more about this? Tldr- looking for information about gender-nonconforming traditions and basically the history of transgenderism(?) in Vietnam specifically.
