sometimes trans history is funny. like this bitch just straight up lied to the king of france abt being afab i love it
#greer rambles
#sorry trans history is so often just. awful to learn about (because so many historical trans people's stories end with 'they examined them
#after they died + found out they were trans + subsequently broader society lost all respect for them
#so i really like to relish in just the. fun parts sometimes
#thats also not to say all trans representation in history - which is kind of contentious anyways bc as society evolves what it means to be
#trans changes with it and the modern idea of being trans
#might not always fit 1:1 with the experiences of those in the past
#due to a variety of factors
#including but not limited to how difficult it was (and is) to exist as a trans person
#- anyways not all trans history os depressing
#or even ambiguous;
#amelio robles ávila is one of my favorite trans historical figures bc
#1) he was a revolutionary during the mexican revolution which. based
#2) he was unequivocally trans
#and
#most importantly
#3) his decision to live as a man was completely respected by his family and community
#and this was the 1910s - holy shit
#also apparently if anyone referred to him as a woman he would threaten them with a pistol
#he also lived a long ass time bc he died in 1984 at the age of 95. king.
