Homer reminds me of an odyssey, and I can see how the voyage of Eärendil the Mariner shared themes with Sawerigading, the hero of "La Galigo", an epic from South Sulawesi, which depicts Bugis creation myth.

Reflections of Eärendil and Túrin Turambar in a Bugis Mythical Hero
Unexpected parallel between Tolkien’s two major characters and a hero in Bugis epic creation myth of Sulawesi, Indonesia.

I mean, I'd love to think he watched a documentary on the Bugis of Indonesia (who have 5 genders) or the 7 genders of the Talmud (arguably 6-8), but, sadly, this is in fact way more plausible. My students loved this semester comparing the Bugis' categories to the Jewish ones, though!
Trump hearing "cisgender" and thinking its "six genders" then getting all mad about it, thus forcing other Republicans to agree that the libs are now demanding there be six genders, is a perfect encapsulation of our Golden Age of Dickishness and Stupidity.
