What a fantastic list! Gender is a fascinating topic I know you said that you are focusing on third-gender communities but if anyone is looking for a great introduction to Trans History I suggest Before We Were Trans The author does a great job explaining the impact of culture when discussing gender and how binary genders are mostly a western ideology, they provide historical context of third-gender communities with respect, and overall was a great read!
