Herculine Barbin — Making Queer History

Herculine Barbin’s life is often introduced as a “case” — a nineteenth-century medico-legal puzzle that forced doctors and judges to decide

Herculine Barbin’s life is often introduced as a “case” — a nineteenth-century medico-legal puzzle that forced doctors and judges to decide what, exactly, made a person male or female. Born in 1838 in France and raised as a girl within Catholic schools and convents, Barbin would soon become the subject of medical examinations, legal judgments, and public scandals aimed at determining her “true sex.” The historical significance of her life, however, is not just tied to the ambiguity of her physical body but also to the extraordinary paper trail she managed to leave behind. Indeed, much of what we know about Barbin comes from her autobiographical memoir, written near the end of her life and after her legal sex reclassification–a groundbreaking text shaped by both hindsight and a need to justify a life that had been made publicly scandalous. This written work survived alongside a dense archive of medical, legal, and journalistic records, offering a rare first-person account of how sex was defined, enforced, and punished in the nineteenth century. Collectively, these materials reveal how Barbin’s personal experience was subordinated to institutional authority, as well as how the modern demand for a single, fixed sex could transform an individual’s life into a problem that needed to be corrected.

y'know most people talking about pregnant men are imagining a cis guy in that weird mpreg penis/butthole pregnancy right? this is not some psyop to detransition people this is a fantasy where cis perisex men can be made to suffer in a way that's historically only been for the people they oppress

I'm just gonna post this comment here again.

You're religious? You're like so chill and not homophobic and believe sex workers deserve human rights

Considering that there are literally billions of religious people on the planet yes, some of us are progressives. Jesus says to share what you have and be kind to your neighbors so idk why I wouldn’t support human rights.

[what-even-is-thiss]

The thing about chill religious people is that we are chill and kinda quiet so unfortunately the unchill loud kinds get all of the airtime.

I'm really tired of people outside the UK claiming that JK Rowling's bigotry doesn't extend to trans men and non-binary people. I can't get an autism diagnosis, because I'm scared that it will be used against me to deny me the healthcare I need, as Rowling and her ilk have been spreading the rhetoric that transmascs are just confused autistic girls who are too stupid to know their own gender.

I am fucking loving how shit-scared the UK right-wing is of a man with a bin on his head. Now that Count Binface might actually win the Clacton byelection they're desperately trying to smear him with such gems as:

"He's anti-Brexit!" Good.

"He's anti-Trump!" Good.

"He's anti-establishment!" At this point I think you're just trying to make me like him more.

"His manager once called Farage a horrible cunt!" Well Farage *is* a horrible cunt, what's your point?

"He's making a joke of British politics!" Well that's very appropriate given that current British politics *are* a fucking joke.

"He's a left-wing liberal elitist!" I don't know if you can be all of those things at once, but I do know that Count Binface isn't the one getting millions in donations from cryptocurrency billionaires sooooooo...

Vote change. Vote Binface.

[ratantics]

Count Binface oozes more confidence and charisma in this 52 second clip than Farage ever has in his entire life and I'm actually going to be genuinely upset if he doesn't win.

Appointments with the gender clinic are such a waste of time. "How would you describe your dysphoria? What is it about your chest that causes you distress?" Here's an idea: I'm an adult, and I should be allowed to do what I want with my body without being psychoanalysed first. So just prescribe me my damn hormones, and if I end up regretting it, that's my problem, not yours.

i think transfems should be allowed to be good at sports.

sometimes a trans woman wins against a cis woman. sometimes a cis woman wins against another cis woman too. yet only one of them is allowed to win without facing consequences.

it's not enough to support transfems in sports if your support hinges on us being bad at them.

i want to highlight this specific addition from the comments
