Solution

True

Reasons: 

  1. Gender fluidity has been a part of traditional Indian culture. There are references to Hindu deities who were gender fluid, i.e., those persons who do not limit themselves within the binary.
  2. In spite of this, most of us are coerced into conformity to follow the expectations of gender linked to one’s sex.
  3. However, the situation is eventually changing.
  4. Today, societies are gradually opening up to understanding and accepting gender fluidity.
