Trans individuals have been a thing since humans first existed. Historical texts are littered with references, and the history of LGBTQ+ is the same group fighting for rights since forever.
Many cultures feel it is perfectly normal, and considered it expected that some people presented as different than their biological sex.
It's completely fictional that any gender or sexual minority is new or unique in the modern era.
I mean this gets complicated. Is cross dressing trans? Because cross dressers doesn't necessarily identify as another sex. Where does an effiminate male stand or a tomboy? What does someone get labled if they identify but don't otherwise want to take the trappings?
and whataboutism rears its ugly head
ha true
what exactly am I whataboutisming about?
