The transphobes getting ahold of this tweet are so predictable and tedious, y’all are the least interesting people on earth. Get a life.

Says the guy who’s so obsessed with gender stereotypes that he spends his free time grasping at historical straws with more zeal and fewer scruples than the ancient aliens loons.

Also, I’m actually a pretty big history buff. Everything I’ve ever read about the Scythians acknowledges they had female warriors. (Seneca’s writings about this in Letters from a Stoic are pretty interesting.) I’ve yet to encounter anything from anyone reputable indicating trans people were a thing in their society. Lmao, try harder.

The Scythians actually did have people called enarei in their society. However, much like the two-spirits and hijras the T like to parade around, they were not really trans. The enarei were effeminate priests/shamans who dressed like women and played the passive role in homosexual intercourse.

That's what 90% of '3rd genders' come down to. Societies that had such strict gender roles that men who transgressed them weren't even considered men.
