Also, you know how much Sekhmet means to me. She’s that tattoo on my right forearm.

For more than 20 years, #Hatshepsut was the most powerful person in the ancient world. Why do so few people know her name today?
#Hatshepsut was a god-king, not as king-queen. That’s how it worked. “Her rule was seen as a threat to the men who came after her - the very men she had personally placed into positions of power.”
#Hatshepsut was the only woman to have ever taken power as king in ancient #Egypt during a period of prosperity and expansion and she ruled for more than two decades - the longest tenure of any female leader of ancient Egypt.
“ #Hatshepsut remains today a reference point for debating gender in some communities. For instance, some online trans forums consider whether the pharaoh’s ‘fluid gender expression is one of the earliest accounts of a trans male life experience’.” http://notchesblog.com/2017/04/11/egyptology-sexual-science-and-modern-gender-identity/?platform=hootsuite
“Hirschfeld understands #Hatshepsut as a gender-variant person, an example of one of his ‘intermediate’ types. This turn to Egyptology, within early twentieth-century sexual science,raises issues for thinking about why and how the ancient world matters in the history of sexuality
#Hatshepsut between “male pharaoh,” a non-conforming identity, and “masculine” image as a purely political act.

The above blogpost was inspired by this event: Gender Identities in the Past and Present: Hatshepsut & Akhenaten – #LGBT History Month Special Event at the Petrie Museum of #iEgyptian Archaeology

“For the event we took part in, members of a local group of people who identity as trans and non-binary were invited to attend and discuss the relevance of #Hatshepsut for their lives and experiences.”
“As popular, political, medical, and legal discussions about gender identity have increased...so has the call for histories of diversity to go further than discussions of gay men.” #Hatshepsut
