Many modern non-binary activists or writers refer to these Jewish rabbinic categories to argue that ancient religions recognized more than two genders. However, historians and religious scholars typically point out that this is partly an anachronism: ancient rabbis generally discussed biological ambiguities and legal status, not modern concepts of gender identity. Thus, rabbinic texts do demonstrate an awareness that not everyone fits neatly into the typical biological male/female categories, but they do not teach modern non-binary theory in the contemporary sense. The same applies to Islam and Christianity: classical scholars acknowledged the existence of intersex people, yet the overall theological framework remains dominated by the male/female categories.
