Take this rage-bait to Tr4nnyLounge, OP, we don't care.

[QUOTE]Agnes’ love of God allowed her to give up the role of wife. When offered love and wealth by men, she rejected them in favor of Christianity. Sebastian and George were powerful Roman men who were expected, as men, to engage in violent militarism. However, both rejected their violent Roman masculinity in favor of Christian pacifism.

And that's the same as cutting your dick off is it?

R1, take your bitching about Pride to x or stormfront or whatever sewer you crawled out of.

Santx Gertrude used to love to chew tobacco and spit.

So many ancient cultures had trans and a specific named category for them

It’s part of human nature, just like being gay is, whether Judeo-Christian religions want to acknowledge it or not

See how they rewrite history?

Take for instance St Euphrosyne (mentioned in the article). She was not "trans" as we think of it today.

Out of necessity: "she disguised herself as a male to enter a monastery and live, for 38 years, as an ascetic." "She spent most of her years as a monk in seclusion from the other monks." Got it?

Have they claimed Yentl as being a trans film yet?

by Anonymousreply 7June 6, 2025 3:19 PM

Remember all the queer studies people telling us we couldn't call people in history gay? Apparently this position doesn't apply to trans for, you know, reasons.

St. Marsha P. Johnson gave Jesus xir veil to wipe His forehead!

Yeah, except NOBODY is "trans", although some are dysphoric, and the rest are just deeply troubled, suggestive to trends and usually suffering from NPR among other things.

Ha!

*I mean NPD! Although many probably do listen to NPR!

There was no concept of trans at that time. So, if it’s a man who lived life as a woman or vice versa, they’re likely trans

St Dylan of Budweiser, patron saint of short-lived fame.

R8 R18 There’s a huge difference between acknowledging Da Vinci had sex with men, a documented physical act, and projecting modern transgender identity onto historical figures because they cross-dressed or didn’t conform to gender roles.

People now say Kurt Cobain was “non-binary” because he wore dresses - that’s ideology, not evidence. Gender dysphoria and transgender identity are specific internal experiences, not just clothing choices or gender nonconformity.

Let’s not flatten history to fit modern frameworks.

by Anonymousreply 20June 7, 2025 3:52 AM

Cobain was a hag at best.

There are people today who identify as transgender and actually aren’t. So how the hell would we know who was trans 1,000 years ago.

by Anonymousreply 22June 7, 2025 3:54 AM

And up until about 15 years ago, gender nonconformity wasn’t automatically labeled as trans. You could be a tomboy, a butch lesbian, a drag queen, or just eccentric — without it being a declaration of gender identity. Historical people defying gender norms doesn’t mean they identified as trans.

Funny how identity used to be about breaking rules — now it’s about filling out forms. Prince wore heels, makeup, and lace, and nobody called him “assigned male at birth.” We used to defy the boxes. Now we’re just arguing over which one to sit in.

Because no one in olden times said I’m trans or I’m gay! We have to look for clues.

There are tons of clues.

Most - probably all - of these saints are fictional, their stories created by male hagiographers copy and pasting from each other constantly. They weren't trans because they didn't exist.

No.

When I read short bios of these saints I often find myself observing how relentlessly extra, always needing to be "special" and generally how EXHAUSTING they were in life!
