The "We Wuz Kangz" trans edition.
Enheduanna was Sargon of Akkad's daughter. She was the author, not troons.
From a source I found:
So they had castratos, hijras, and crossdressers. They had separate classifications for them. Erin thinks this is solid evidence for trans people, no more than the church castrating boys to keep their high voices is proof they engaged in GRS.Singers of lamentations, of course, might well be required to have a high-pitched voice, suggesting possible castration in childhood. Then again, the inscription states that Ur-Nanshe is a “naru,” a singer, not specifically a “gala.” Also we can’t be certain that the Sumerians followed our own conventions for gendered representation of people. Man-boobs do exist, and the statuette’s maker might simply have shown them honestly. All of this makes precise interpretation very difficult.
Another clue might be the mention of male sex workers in the description of the festival. One Sumerian proverb refers to a gala wiping “that which belongs to my mistress” from his backside. That’s presumably a reference to semen as Inanna is a fertility goddess. A possible literal translation of the word “gala” is “penis-anus.”
You can read more here. It clearly states Ishtar is a goddess, and like other gods in other myths, are not subject to human norms. Loki turned into a horse, for example.
Elagabalus is a popular example. Metatron has already done a video on him, and so has Mia Mulder, also trans. Anyways, Elagabalus was widely hated and only ruled for three years. He strapped actual women to chariots and used them as horses. He was widely considered to be degenerate, useless, and overall pathetic. Even more so than Nero, who actually managed to pull off a proto gay marriage.
They've said the same about Maimonides. Plenty of people back then struggled with gender norms. That doesn't make them trans.
Okay, I'm gonna sperg here. First, women were not legally considered citizens, either here or after the Revolution, so this isn't a flex. Second, it is suspected D'eon had Klinefelter's, not a trans identity. He had a fully intact penis with "visible breasts" and curious features (aka Downy face) which fits XXY. He was comfortable being both. His gender "certificate" was granted to him willingly by the King and his court. They weren't "extorted".
From Wikipedia:
The Chevalier d'Éon claimed to have been assigned female at birth, and demanded recognition by the government as such. D'Éon claimed to have been raised as a boy because Louis d'Éon de Beaumont could only inherit from his in-laws if he had a son. King Louis XVI and his court complied with this demand, but required in turn that d'Éon dress appropriately in women's clothing, although d'Éon was allowed to continue to wear the insignia of the Order of Saint-Louis. When the king's offer included funds for a new wardrobe of women's clothes, d'Éon agreed. In 1777, after fourteen months of negotiation, d'Éon returned to France and as punishment was banished to Tonnerre.[10]
Avila hated being referred to as a woman so you can argue this was a pooner.
From Wikipedia:
This was a woman who lived as a man to get employment opportunities. The ones saying she's trans are, naturally, troons.Typically, the youth's uncle or stepfather was said to have dressed his charge in male clothing in order to find work in an all-male shoe factory in Illinois. Even before the advent of the war, Hodgers adopted the identity of Albert Cashier in order to live independently.[10]: 52
Surprised James Barry wasn't mentioned. She was known for fucking her superior officers.
Deadname Lucille. Actual pooner, she got a hysterectomy.
Eh, this isn't surprising.
His career dropped off after Trooning out, I heard.
Lmao he had to include his boyfriend.
He transitioned in 1994. His tech came out in 83, when he was still male. Just like Martine Rothblatt, you get the accomplishments "as a woman" after you did them as a man.
Also, note that Marsha P. Johnson doesn't appear, or any black person for that matter. I'm sure you could find black troons in Jazz.
