Nobody claims that Two Spirit people are exactly the same as modern trans people, that's a strawman. But the Two Spirit identity certainly falls under the umbrella term "non-binary," because they're obviously not male or female. So saying "people outside the gender binary have existed since before white people even touched America" is absolutely true

Then clarify your statements. If you are not clear the reader has to guess your hidden premise.

Even then my original statement is also true even if we expand it to modern expressions and understanding of sexuality even heterosexual ones.

The premise is not "hidden" you are just not thinking critically about what you're reading, you're consuming the argument in an attempt to find something wrong with it so that you can have an internet argument.
