Did you know that Lucian the Satirist (1st century A.D, Greek-Syrian) wrote about a trans man married to a queer woman?

Since this is meant to be comedic, he’s clearly mocking us queers 😭 but joke’s on him, this is fierce!

crazy how the megillus episode didn't mention that Megillus and his lover are living publicly as a same sex couple? if i understood correctly. i know they are literally heterosexual, but certainly that says something about female female relationships. idk exactly what.
