Trans people have existed everywhere for as long as people have existed. Y'all just try really, really hard not to notice. https://twitter.com/The_Ada_Rhodes/status/1320769078802501632
Since this is doing numbers, there was a trans Roman empress (that’s how she wanted to be referred to) http://outhistory.org/exhibits/show/tgi-bios/elagabalus
This stuff is everywhere if you look because trans people are a natural variation in the human species. And these stories matter. For hundreds of years trans people have been erased from history https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-48442934
Anti-trans campaigners position our rights as a recent fad because they want to retain a colonial society and there’s power in claiming status quo. Saying that the two genders are proven by biology is like saying geocentrism is proven by astronomy: depends who is measuring.
And that’s true for all science, which is why it’s really important that we allow people other than abled neurotypical cishet white men to be scientists
