Tfw nazis literally burnt Hirschfeld’s (sp?) papers so we wouldn’t be in the history books
Like I wanna be really clear. Hirschfeld was literally moving to a depathologized explanation of trans women (inversion as variance not defect) and was advocating for providing trans women with HRT and surgery, all the while treat numerous trans women with hormones, in the early 1930s. Berlin had a thriving trans and gay community you have never heard of because the nazis destroyed it and the systematically erased evidence of it.
It’s not that trans women have only existed the last thirty years, it’s that you have been intentionally denied knowledge of our history by reactionaries who want to see us dead.
In 1946 renowned new zealander Harold Gilles preformed the first FtM sex reassignment surgeries.
1946. A lot longer than 30 years ago.
In 1951 he was able to preform the opposite, pioneering techniques for those who were transitioning from male to female.
So anyone who says its only 30 years… should look to a local plastic surgeon and ask about Mr Gilles.
1812 – James Miranda Barry graduated from the Medical School of Edinburgh University as a doctor. Barry went on to serve as an army surgeon working overseas. Barry lived as a man but was found to be female-bodied upon his death in 1865.
1932 – The News of the World published a story, ‘Amazing Change of Sex’, about a trans man from Sussex who transitioned ‘from Margery to Maurice’. Colonel Sir Victor Barker DSO (1895 - 1960) married Elfrida Haward in Brighton. Barker’s birth sex (female) is later revealed and the marriage is consequently annulled….
1936 – A 30-year-old British athletic champion, Mark Weston of Plymouth, transitioned from female to male. The story appeared in some national newspapers, including the News of the World (31 May 1936). The reportage was accurate and sensitive. In the words of L. R. Broster, the Harley Street surgeon who treated him, ‘Mark Weston, who has always been brought up as a female, is a male and should continue to live as such’.
There is some debate on James Barry but I still think this is relevant. All of these taken from wikipedia timeline of LGBT history. (I had a look a few months ago out of curiosity.)
in 218 AD. there was a roman emperor named Elagabalus who regularly wore womans clothing and surgically removed their penis and prefered to be called mistress and wife by their husband. Its very likely that elagabalus, an assigned male at birth, was a transgirl.
every time i fuck up plugging in the USB to charge my iphone and scratch it against the underside of the phone i think about that scene at the start of sherlock where sherlock assumes that john watson’s sister is an alcoholic because of the scratches around the charging port of the iphone she gave to him as a gift and i think to myself “man sherlock is a fucking idiot”
So literally “Bear Bear Bear”. The most bear a bear can be.
So bear. Much roar. Wow.
Also! The Arctic Circle is named for the bears, not the other way ‘round. It’s the Circle With Bears In, and the Antarctic is the Circle (and continent) Away From Bears.
Are you telling us that the poles of our world are Bear Continent and Anti-Bear Continent
Do you think the Russian agents were briefed beforehand on what a shithole this website is, or did some poor bastard in Krasnoyarsk get blindsided by their first random anon demanding their opinion on whether or not sexbot yiffing is problematic or empowering
Some sad sack from a troll farm in Smolensk: All right listen up gang. Who can tell me what this means?
*points to a white board with the words ‘big yeet’ written on it, underlined and circled*
it’s early and i’m tired but i’m fully choking in a laugh bc as this woman got on my bus i saw her take out of her bag a smaller pouch, out of which she then took another small purse with her travel card in it and i’m sitting there wondering why that tickled me so much before i realised it just triggered deep previously unconscious memories of that fucking spongebob episode
