*monstrous regiment lol

like read the Monstrous Brigade if you don't fucking understand how flawed the logic is

you do have to read it from beginning to end but to put it short, Terry Pratchett understood the choice between disguising yourself as a man to do something and being a trans man

IT'S A PRETTY FUZZY LINE

sorry

the historical figure in question is a trans man who historians say MAY JUST be a woman who disguised herself as a man to study and become a doctor

it sort of strains credulity when this was his entire fucking life we're talking about

like you'll have historical figures who fully live their lives a woman who is a man and they're like "WELL TECHNICALLY WOMEN COULDN'T BE DOCTORS BACK THEN"

just like every queer person turns to the camera Office-style

this person... could have probably dropped the guise, geniuses

yes btw I fucking hate this for queer people too!!!!

we're using modern language to analyze behavior and tendencies

we're not clamping down an entire identity minus the context and era of when they actually lived

JUST CUZ THEY DIDN'T THINK THEY WERE ""GAY"" DOESN'T MEAN GAY SHIT DIDN'T HAPPEN

like it's such a weird fucking argument to be like "well since they didn't consider themselves racist technically you can't call them that"

man
it... it doesn't matter how much a historical person believed something to be true
that doesn't make it true even in their own fucking time period

I hate using moral relativism for fucking anything other than "oh I understand why the Europeans did witch trials now"

DEFENDING THE WITCH TRIALS AKA GENOCIDAL TENDENCIES ??????

I just need to know WHY they did the bad thing, that doesn't ACTUALLY justify ANYTHING BAD THAT HAPPENS

"it wasn't racist" THEY WERE LITERALLY INVENTING RACISM

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON, HOWIE MANDEL IF YOU WERE WONDERING WHO CAME OUT OF THEIR ROCK ON MARS TO TALK ABOUT THIS RANDOMLY

Really all I'm trying to comprehend is why that would happen. Why would either of them want it.

It would literally make a ton more sense if Trump blew an actual hot guy and not another powerful oligarch. Like maybe it was a humiliation ritual 🤔That's how I'm working it out in my head.

This is hilariously stupid logic. He's asking school to test students with no accommodation for their learning disabilities so that... They can measure how bad their learning disabilities are? 🤔Over and over again? Is that was schools are for, measuring just how bad your learning disability can get?
