Thought this one was interesting: new organisation founded to support sistergirls and brotherboys in remote Australian Indigenous communities.
I think "sistergirl" and "brotherboy" equate to "trans woman" and "trans man" respectively, but there may be some cultural nuances I'm missing. The article mentions that these concepts were quite common in NT Aboriginal communities before European missionaries came along.
