The concept of being trans is a relatively new thing, by historical timelines.
The historical record for what we would now call transgender people goes back over 4,000 to Ancient Babylon. And that’s just the written historical record.
Ah fuck, I knew someone would be around to pick on that.
Trans rights in Western culture is a new thing we gotta fight for. Fuck me, gay rights is a relatively new thing we still gotta fight for. Didn’t read my post? Were you not around when gay marriage was a sticking point? Like, 15-years ago? I know goddamned well the concept has existed since we were monkeys.
Your comment is a perfect example of why conservatives hate holier-than-thou liberals. Pick up a rifle or STFU.
Yeah, we just called trans folk hermaphrodites or transexuals or some other words than we use now. Language has been fluid but the concept is not new. Hell, I grew up familiar with it and I was pretty naive.
Hermaphrodites are a completely different thing. They are not trans, well I guess they could be but hermaphrodite is not what people used to call trans people.

Democracy was also an old concept. But democracy didn’t get popularized until very recently.

Maybe edit the wording in the post to clarify that instead of writing this response.
