2S people existed before photos existed. Two-Spirit is an umbrella term used to describe anyone who takes on another gender. First Nations have recognized 2S people going wayyyy back, I don't know how long, but at least hundreds of years.

Trans people exist in every culture. Today, let's celebrate indigenous people everywhere who are trans/ two-spirit

I had to read 2S 3x trying to understand why you were claiming that "25 people existed before photos existed".

The idea that "trans people are something new" is just ludicrous. If you even have moderate familiarity in history or anthropology, you know that they are by no means "new."

They might have had different names, different roles in society, and were treated in different ways depending on the culture, but they were found in virtually EVERY population on the planet in some form or other.
