There's eight genders in the Talmud

  1. Zachar, male.
  2. Nekevah, female.
  3. Androgynos, having both male and female characteristics.
  4. Tumtum, lacking sexual characteristics.
  5. Aylonit hamah, identified female at birth but later naturally developing male characteristics.
  6. Aylonit adam, identified female at birth but later developing male characteristics through human intervention.
  7. Saris hamah, identified male at birth but later naturally developing female characteristics.
  8. Saris adam, identified male at birth and later developing female characteristics through human intervention.

1-2 are what we'd call cis. 3, 4, 5 and 7 are different presentations of being intersex. 6 and 8 are what we'd call trans and also include eunuchs etc.

Huh the talmud is younger than I thought then

Yeah the Torah is the older one.

Loan words are fun, your language either lacks a word for a concept or it's very obscure so you just grab one from a neighboring culture. English has loads of them from French

At this point english is to french as swiss is to german.
