The Agojie were regiments of soldiers who served in the army of Dahomey (now Benin) in West Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries. They were all assigned female at birth but expressed their gender in a variety of ways. Some renounced womanhood, and identified themselves as men. At other times, the group embraced womanhood in their war songs, comparing themselves to lionesses, and linking womanhood to their superiority over male regiments.

If they do start rounding queers up it won’t be with the gestapo, but the police, and the crime won’t be written down as being queer, but public indecency, the indecency being queer in public, but that’s the quiet part no one will say out loud.

This same exact thing happened here in the US in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Everyone needs to learn the history of the overall community. Two podcast reccs "History is Gay" for cherry picked moments/people from world history, and "Making Gay History" for a lesson of US Queer/Trans history from the 1940s - 1990s using archived interviews of people that were there.

I'm..

Well, let me rewind a bit.. About a year or so ago I learned from a guest on the Trans centric podcast Gender Reveal (which is a joke name, btw), that Nonbinary is a Trans identity, and that got me wondering what the identity that I started using meant to ME.. and after a lot of thinking of how I've behaved since I was a kid (some recalling of memories from figuring out I'm Bi and AuDHD), I realized I'm more femme than anything and have actually been masking it my whole life and that I was shoved into masculinity every time I "acted girly" by my family. I've been using Enby/Trans a lot over the last year trying to get a feel for it.. and as a kind of half step while I wait before I can realistically do anything aside from the little things (gifts to myself) and social transitioning.. like the mini heart pin I bought myself over Christmas, and changing my pronouns, social media PFPs/banners etc. I mentioned a 5 - 10 year long To Do list to get my life back together on Bsky at the beginning of the year, and transitioning is on there as a long term goal, and hell, it's one of the big reasons the list exists in the first place, and part of why I've been doing a LOT of reading about things online, setting my goals as a walk back from starting the things to live authentically, all the way back to where I am now, at point 0, like a teenager fresh out of HS, but at 42 (which that's a whole other story).

Of course recent events are part of why I said I said "realistically", and by that I mean like 5 or so years at the least, which gives me some time to try to get to where I CAN do anything, hopefully in the next 10 years. So yeah.. worst time to come out and yeah it's scares the fuck out of me, but I was scared as fuck when I came out as Bisexual in 2020 (cause.. well.. 2020), but yeah there it is. I'm Trans. 🏳️‍⚧️.

If this all sounds disjointed, it's reworked and expanded from 4 Bsky posts I made last week when I came out. I've not had the energy to repost on here since then.

It's so scary realizing something about my gender identity right now with no support/people to turn to, no insurance, no place of my own, and no money.. and with all the looming existential threats to to a community I thought I was just an ally to only a year ago, I not only have no idea where/how to start, but it scares me that much more.
