There is a long tradition of gender concepts outside of Europe that goes beyond the gender binary and heteronormativity. In precolonial times, many African societies constructed gender in ways that exceeded the binary of cis woman and cis man. The essay traces this tradition and develops a specifically black and queer social utopia: “Afrotopia.”
