It is 222 A.D.

@lda I usually assume transmasculine means 'towards masculinity' and not maleness, and transfemininity means 'towards femininity' and not femaleness. They can include those things, but are not necessarily those things.

So like, when I identified as she/her I was transfeminine. I now use they/she and I'm still transfeminine. Someone whose's nonbinary would still fall under the umbrella of their community, I assume.

Like everyone is different, not everyone will define it that way, but I wanted to call out it wasn't just trans women.

@CharlotteEowyn It is 7th century BCE. You are mythological third-gendered entity Asu-shu-namir, created by the god Enki to rescue Innana after the goddess descended into the underworld to steal her sister Ereshkigal's power. You are impossibly beautiful, neither man or woman, and your goal is to seduce the Queen of the Netherworld and steal the waters of life to revive Inanna. Upon completing your task you are caught, and while Inanna escapes, you do not. You and others like you are cursed by Ereshkigal to suffer economic hardship and social ostracization unto eternity. Transitioning is new(?) and experimental(?).

@CharlotteEowyn, the only thing really old and tested thoroughly is being ignorant.

@CharlotteEowyn
It's the 19th century America civil war, you're "Mrs. Nash" (sorry I can't find her first name), trans/intersex woman and friend to George Custer and his wife Libbie. You do not wish to be undressed after you pass when you fall badly ill...
Transitioning is new and experimental.

it's the 16th / 17th century, you're the gender nonconforming (it's hard to put any assignment to them as they dressed and acted masculine but how they identified is harder to say) Mary Frith / Mol Cutpurse / Tom Faconer. Gender non conformity (and transition) is new and experimental.

@CharlotteEowyn this is amazing thank you so much for putting it together. Got me right in the feels, as they said last year.

@CosmickTrigger @CharlotteEowyn Caroline Cossey played an extra in "For Your Eyes Only", calling her a Bond Girl is a lot of a stretch

@miriamrobern @CharlotteEowyn
You can always rely on the news to tell us that nobody wants to work anymore, kids are more disrespectful than they used to be, and trans people are new and scary.

@CharlotteEowyn now you've got me thinking, and I'm wondering about producing my own version in places my in laws will see it. (a) Do you mind? I would always attribute with a link. But I would also be compelled to research and reword things as I went, it is my curse. (b) I realize the following contradicts the canonical form, but in this case I wonder if it would become more effective done in reverse chronological order? I shall experiment! 🤗

@CharlotteEowyn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Bornstein is another person to add to the list

[nelson@wetdry.world]

@Thatonepersonwithaface @CharlotteEowyn yes exactly

[luc0x61@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@CharlotteEowyn Generally speaking, human rights keep being new and experimental.

[matiu_bidule@mamot.fr]

@CharlotteEowyn
this is perfect.
The only thing that could rival it in terms of novelty is the idea " that young people no longer want to work and do not respect their elders" 😅

[log@mastodon.sdf.org]

@CharlotteEowyn You are a classical Greek, listening to the bard describe blind Tiresias, who lived seven generations, and seven years of it a woman, but this will be forgotten.

You are a gilded age English, reading of Orlando, who retired a lord and awoke a lady, but this will be forgotten.

You are an early Mesopotamian, listening to the priest of Inanna describing the power of the goddess in the story of Pilipili, who was transformed from girl to man, but this will be forgotten.

[charlotteeowyn@chaosfem.tw]

@tartley I don't mind.

[solastalcycle@masto.bike]

@CharlotteEowyn It is 1777. You are the diplomat and knight d'Eon. The King of France, by decree, assigns you a female gender in order to put an end to the debate on this subject. Transitioning is new and experimental

[alayanaisheaven@mastodon.social]

@CharlotteEowyn I love you 💜💋🌹

[mpk@gts.apicrim.es]

@CharlotteEowyn transitioning is probably as new and experimental as the wheelbarrow, and we all know those newfangled one-wheel carts are not to be trusted

[divverent@misskey.de]

@solastalcycle@masto.bike @CharlotteEowyn@chaosfem.tw Now I finally know what started the French Revolution - the one that celebrates Fraternité but not Sororité... is it really Égalité then?

[solastalcycle@masto.bike]

@divVerent @CharlotteEowyn You must discover one of our local deities! Olympe de Gouges, who was behind the Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen in 1791 . As you can imagine, it was a huge success with male politicians in 1791, just as it is in 2026.
