Yeah I just looked it up to refresh my memory, but we think the ancient Scythians were also using estrogen derived from horse pee and also smoking mad weed, which is pretty neat.
Never heard about the estrogen claim, but I definitely knew about them smoking weed. They hotboxed in their tents, lmao
After the burial the Scythians cleanse themselves as follows: they anoint and wash their heads and, for their bodies, set up three poles leaning together to a point and cover these over with wool mats; then, in the space so enclosed to the best of their ability, they make a pit in the center beneath the poles and the mats and throw red-hot stones into it. . . . the Scythians then take the seed of this (kannabis) and, crawling into the tents, throw it on the red-hot stones, where it smoulders and sends forth such fumes that no Greek vapor-bath could surpass it. The Scythians howl in their joy at the vapor-bath."
Truly a more civilized age
Not as old as civilisations.
As old as gender structures, which is way older.
One of her symbols is an 8-pointed star. I like to wear one as a necklace as a low key way to display my pride and still be safe.
wikipedia has a surprisingly thorough page on transgender history, organized into sections by country. tldr; historically and globally humans have always been queer.
tysm for posting this <3
To destroy, to create, to tear out, to establish are yours, Inanna.
To turn a man into a woman and a woman into a man are yours, Inanna
-Hymn to Inanna by Enheduanna, daughter of Sargon of Akkad, 23rd century BCE
Is this the daughter who got her father so drunk he gave her all the things that make up Civilization and fled to start her own city?
The irony of her being the original Sargon of Akkad’s daughter is kinda funny to me.
I once ran up against a guy who claimed trans people had their minds rotten by the porn industry. Motherfucker, there are really well documented non-cishet-normative social classes in Norse Scandinavia, in pre-Modern Albania, in pre-Muslim Arabia, in several places of Indonesia - what porn industry did exist there!? He couldn’t come up with anything, but wouldn’t budge either. Some people get stuck in a prejudice and will behave like raving conspiracy theorists the moment they’re offered some bullshit explanation that makes no sense but agrees with them.

Holy shit that projection, and how they can’t disentangle their kinks from human beings with human experience.
But why is the picture covered?
So you can read the text??
no read ಠ_ಠ
only trans god junk ಠ_ಠ
She could cure cancer instead.
Inanna: I don’t want to cure cancer. I want to turn boys into girls
