Ma’am, your adult daughter has a twitter profile pic of Marvel’s Jessica Jones.

@neyslides @2_3yearsand4get @Daboochy @abysmaldogwater Might even add more sources when I have time. I do appreciate specificity 😊

[misanthropologist🍉💀 @emilyorating]

@neyslides @2_3yearsand4get @Daboochy @abysmaldogwater That’s fair! Please see the more detailed explanation here. Happy to answer questions!

@2_3yearsand4get @Daboochy @abysmaldogwater You’re talking to a mfing historian here who went to grad school specifically for this time period, & I promise you don’t know what anachronism means. OBVIOUSLY they did not have a concept of transgender, much less that word. To insist they did would ACTUALLY be anachronistic.

[misanthropologist🍉💀 @emilyorating]

@2_3yearsand4get @Daboochy @abysmaldogwater And it’s pretty fucking telling you couldn’t even respond to my comment about the church’s virtual monopoly on manuscript production. Probably because you had absolutely zero response to it.

[misanthropologist🍉💀 @emilyorating]

@2_3yearsand4get @Daboochy @abysmaldogwater For more, I’d suggest starting with the hagiographies of St. Clare & St. Francis. Primary sources, preferably. There’s also a shit ton of manuscript imagery of the holy vagine. And try the bibliography of *chucks a copy of Jesus as Mother by Caroline Bynum at your stupid face*

[misanthropologist🍉💀 @emilyorating]

@welp_max Sounds like an ordeal, so sorry to hear that!

Former medievalist & these are the woke bits of medieval Christianity I wish more people knew:

St. Brigid’s miraculous abortions (+3 other Irish saints)

12th-15thC theology of Jesus’s side wound/vagina

Trans Franciscan hagiography

[misanthropologist🍉💀 @emilyorating]

@Fredfantastic42 @FireJonHarbaugh @abysmaldogwater The same to you, friend!

[misanthropologist🍉💀 @emilyorating]

@CannonTROU @1vzzr @Smashmaster777 @abysmaldogwater To that end, some based medieval Christianity tidbits the ignorant & bigoted would rather not know:

Four Irish saints have miraculous abortions attested in their hagiography, most notably St. Brigid.

12th-15thC theology held Jesus birthed the church thru his side wound/vagina.

[misanthropologist🍉💀 @emilyorating]

@2_3yearsand4get @Daboochy @abysmaldogwater Actually, it’s even more damning that this imagery appears in so many manuscripts prior to the printing press (ca. 1440) bc for most of the Middle Ages, the church practically owned the production of manuscripts end-to-end, so they had every opportunity to suppress it and didn’t.

@2_3yearsand4get @Daboochy @abysmaldogwater They already did, dumbass. Or did you not *want* to be delivered through Him?

[misanthropologist🍉💀 @emilyorating]

@Fredfantastic42 @FireJonHarbaugh @abysmaldogwater It’s just supremely irritating as a cradle Catholic and former medievalist who actually read hagiographical primary sources that these idiots walk around in complete ignorance thinking they know a single thing about the medieval church.

[misanthropologist🍉💀 @emilyorating]

@FireJonHarbaugh @Fredfantastic42 @abysmaldogwater Behold Christ’s side-wussy through which he birthed the Church and repent, heretic.

[misanthropologist🍉💀 @emilyorating]

@abysmaldogwater I shared this free book pdf several years ago on here, & through the grapevine, it ended up on https://t.co/TAbiP8tgkp. So I guess my work as a former medievalist posting about trans hagiography on here is done.

@ISASaxonists First story in a long time that made me miss being on Irish twitter regularly 🥲

@rebecca_fachner @VP Yes, yes, I hear y’all—“Foreign affairs don’t factor in as much as domestic policy”—yes, I know.

But don’t you think if the people of Europe had a major election in, say, 1912, they might’ve wanted to know that WWI was in the cards given their current trajectory?
