It is 1865. You are Doctor James Barry, stealth transgender man and former Inspector General for the British army. You leave notice that upon your death your body must not be examined. This is not followed, and a media circus follows with a shocking gender reveal. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1876. You are author Marc/Marie de Montifaud. You "crossdress" as a man when visiting the library for research, use the names Marc and Marie interchangably, and your pronouns are known by multiple people to be she/he. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1880. You are known mononymously as the decadent author Rachilde. You delight in presenting publicly as sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, sometimes in between. You joyfully describe yourself as "androgynous". Transitioning is new and experimental.
The year is 2026, you are me. Held off chemically transitioning because you want a more androgenious/feminine appearance after 30+ years of trying to just keep yourself from being too masculine. An engineer who is now lied about and threatened by social media misinformation. Transitioning is new and experimental they say while you have access to historical and scientific evidence to the contrary.

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.@jargoggles @miriamrobern @CharlotteEowyn

@CharlotteEowyn Great post, wholly agree, but just as a note--Marsha wasn't actually there. She said she was uptown at the time. :-)
@aphyr @CharlotteEowyn by all accounts of everyone who was there the brick just kind of mysteriously flew on its own and thats the story we stick to lmfao

It is 222 A.D. You are the transgender Empress Elagabalus, "call me not a man for I am a woman". Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1776. You are "Public Universal Friend", a transmasculine Quaker. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1906. You are Karl M. Baer, a trans man undergoing sex reassignment. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1930. You are Lili Elbe. Transitioning is new and experimental. (to be fair you did get a uterus transplant.)
It is 1966. You are in Compton's Cafeteria with a bunch of other trans people when the owners call the cops to throw you all out. You riot. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1969. You are Marsha "pay it no mind" Johnson. You are in a mob-run gay bar when the cops attack. You throw a brick. There is a bit of a scuffle. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 2026. You are a transgender adult or child listening to the NYT and British Guardian claim this is the first generation anyone has tried transitioning in. Transitioning is new and experimental.
@CharlotteEowyn it’s erasure all the way down

@dhfir I usually don't assume trans<masc or femme> connotate gender, only direction. Like transfem enbys are still transfem?transmasc enbys are still transmasc? Edited for clarity. It's different for everyone.

@CharlotteEowyn this is the transgender version of "It is 217 BC. You are the general Hannibal and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Rome must burn."

@aphyr @CharlotteEowyn yep was gonna comment on that part too. had some people get really pissy about being corrected on that before though, because apparently the facts are less important than sticking to the established narrative. which I find kinda disrespectful to the people involved.

@CharlotteEowyn It is 2017. Cait comes out. I try to explore ways to transition. And a therapist says no. Too many trans sucides in sweden. No indication is given out. Too new and experimental.
It is 2019. Germany becomes woke like never before. People come out in troves. Mental health is important like never before. A therapist gives me an indication. Still: Too new and experimental.
It is 2023. Self ID comes to Germany. People discuss conscription. … no trans voice are heard.

@CharlotteEowyn It is 2023. A judge determines that trans healthcare is not covered. We are back at: It is too new and experimental. Trans people get more bureacracy. And people discuss phony cass retorts and ban HRT.
Post pandemic brought a new kind of fascism to Germany. Two trans people were injured that badly that one has consequences her entire life long. Another trans man died in Munster. Hate crime protection is too new and “antifreedom”. -
@CharlotteEowyn it's the early 1600s, you are Antonio de Erauso, an infamous former nun who ran away from the convent and then lived as a man and made a career in the Spanish navy, had violent encounters with other men that almost always ended in the death of these men, had affairs with lots of women and when finally confronted with the authorities for some of these murders they were so surprised you were assigned female at birth and also an "intact virgin" that a bishop decided to pardon you for all your crimes and said you were "one of the most notable people in the world". Transitioning is new and experimental.
@cygnathreadbare @CharlotteEowyn Ah, excellent, I was going to bring up Antonio de Erauso if no one else had. I went to the library looking for books about Basques, and this fascinating life story was what I found.

@hi_cial @CharlotteEowyn I don't think this is Johnson trying to shirk responsibility--she was fairly up-front about her activism and life in general. See 2:15 in her interview here:

Over 40 position statements is a lot to read. So we tried to create a summary for what the community thinks how to grow the Open Social Web: https://fediforum.org/2026-03-growing-open-social-web/summary/
But reading the actual submissions is probably more interesting: https://fediforum.org/2026-03-growing-open-social-web/submissions/
