Draft:"Sekhet"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sekhet Pride Flag

Inscribed pottery shards from the Egyptian Middle Kingdom (2000–1800 BCE) near ancient Thebes (now Luxor, Egypt) describe that there were three genders: tai(men), sḫt("sekhet"), and hmt(women)[1][better source needed], in that exact order. Archaeologists differ on the meaning. Sḫt is often translated as "eunuch", although there is little evidence that these individuals were castrated[2][unreliable source?]. The first sekhet flag was designed any, an anonymous Tumblr user on or before June 24, 2017.[3]
