AHC: No "heterosexuality" or "homosexuality"

I'm fairly clearly with Engels, Selma James and Mariarosa Dalla Costa on the function of the family—and therefore gender and sexual categories—as part of the system of social reproduction.

Smash capitalism early and you might see a breakdown in the bourgeois family and thus in heteronormativity. See Kollontai on plural economic relationships amongst mothers in her fantasy work where the POV character boffs a pseudo-Lenin.

That make me think of some comic art I saw... a Communist orgy, and it was not fully 'vanilla'....

Yeah, it is a theme in communist history. Due to the homosocial hypermasculinism of the "blue collar worker." Due to the presence of homosexual, gay, lesbian and queer communists (I recommend the history of the Gay Liberation Front (UK) here!). And due to the anti-family, "post-bourgeois culture" theme in communism.

Of course, Bolshevist states have been fucking appalling at attacking queers.

There are several cases of older "pagan" cultures with unique ideas about genders in Polynesia.

One example would be the Fa'afafine in Samoa but there are others:

Fa'afafine may be viewed as a third gender specific to Samoan culture. Fa'afafine are the gender liminal, or third-gendered people of Samoa. A recognized and integral part of traditional Samoan culture, fa'afafine, born biologically male, embody both male and female gender traits.
The word fa'afafine includes the causative prefix "fa'a", meaning "in the manner of", and the word fafine, meaning "woman".[1] It is cognate with linguistically related words in other Polynesian languages, such as the Tongan fakafefine (also fakaleiti), the Maori whakawahine, the Cook Islands Maori akava'ine and Hawaiian mahu. The Samoan slangword mala (or "devastation", by way of the Samoan Bible) is in less frequent use for fa'afafine.
