you gotta be so careful when tagging posts about object shows bc imagine youre a sports enthusiast and youre trying to find posts about the sport basketball and instead you come across yuri of a shape and a number. and they both have tails
Aside from the compulsion to claim historical trans men as women for feminist history, I've also noticed attempts to neutralize trans men into non binary figures.
Of course, language surrounding non binary identities in the western world is relatively new, so someone from the 1800s might have had some long winded way of saying they were non binary.
But take the case of Megillus from Lucien's writings in Ancient Greece, who will say "I am entirely a man" and still have people being like, oh they're just a confused little girl product of restricted language. There is no way they really mean it when they say explicitly they are 100% a man. Obvious example of non-binary identity.
Obviously non binary people deserve to see themselves in history, but like...c'mon...
Just something I've noticed in my research into trans men of the past
they’re similar but not the same

Annie: There are legends of people born with the gift of making music so true, it can pierce the veil between life and death; conjuring spirits from the past...and the future. In ancient Ireland, they were called Filí. In Choctaw land, they called them Fire Keepers. And in West Africa, they were called Griots. This gift can bring healing to their communities. But it also...attracts evil....

perisex people waxing poetic about how anti-trans laws could theoretically affect intersex people is so pointless. they don't have to. what do you think is stopping people from abusing intersex people now? backlash from the general public who thinks it's appropriate to call intersex people hermaphrodites? the laws in the vast majority of countries that don't even consider intersex people a protected class, let alone have made any kind of intersexist abuse illegal?
whatever you think could happen to intersex people is already happening to absolutely no pushback from perisex people. we're medically raped, murdered, castrated, and selectively aborted. we face among if not outright the highest rates of sexual assault, conversion therapy, suicidality and homelessness in the queer community. stop sitting on your ass and waiting for the news of all things to tell you to give a shit. how many intersex people have to die before perisex people think it's important enough to start paying attention?
