I had the chance to view the beautiful sleeping Hermaphrodite sculpture completed by Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1620 at the Louvre in Paris.

I loved the placard below, which read:

“Here I am before you, wholly male and perfectly female. Who am I?
How does one draw a distinction between the feminine and the masculine? Does such a thing exist? My body puts this age-old question to all of humanity. My gender, which my unique beauty reflects in all its complexity and diversity, is that of all of humankind.”

Gender diversity has existed since the beginning of time.
