Being transgender is not new!

This is why terf ideology is inherently white supremacist- sex essentialism is not universal but a specific western ideology that has been violently imposed on other cultures during colonial expansion, and people not fitting the western binary literally exterminated.

Though there are certainly examples from western history too, like the Roman Galli for example. And, especially given how much fascists and conservatives worship Imperial Rome, I think it’s important to make clear that transfeminine individuals did in fact have an important and valued role in that society too.
