@iamRiggsJaxon @derrickcage2017 isn’t the existence of trans people, it’s the willingness of society to finally stop punishing them for being visible. Tradition isn’t just the narrow lens of one culture — it’s the full picture of human history
@iamRiggsJaxon @derrickcage2017 Actually, those ‘rare’ examples weren’t rare at all — they were just erased in Western retellings of history. From Two-Spirit people in Indigenous nations to Hijra in South Asia, trans and gender-diverse identities have been acknowledged across cultures for millennia. What’s new
@derrickcage2017 Calling transness ‘pushed by society’ is backwards — society has been pushing people into silence for centuries. We’re just finally listening.
@derrickcage2017 . Every major medical authority recognizes gender transition as real and essential healthcare. If experts in medicine and psychology accept it, saying it’s ‘impossible’ isn’t accurate.
