NICHE MEMES about The Frogs, an Aristophanes comedy play from Ancient Greece

[bitey-cat]

So the emperor of Rome in the mid-3rd century BCE was a trans girl

She's remembered as Elegabalus and literally all of the histories forever refer to her as a man because she was amab but she literally offered enormous sums of money to anyone who could perform gender confirmation surgery on her IN THE THIRD CENTURY BCE

Also she's alleged to have waxed her body hair, put on makeup and a wig, and gone to brothels to compete with the sex workers there and try to earn more than them even though she was the emperor of Rome and therefore unlikely to be strapped for cash
