    Arthur Chu Retweeted Leah Eff

    I confess it's actually deeply hilarious when one of them goes, "How can James Barry be a trans man when no one knew what that word meant back then and the concept of a 'trans man' is so rooted in modern culture? Obviously she was a butch lesbian"https://twitter.com/9BillionTigers/status/1379041940482580480 …

    Arthur Chu added,

    Leah Eff @9BillionTigers
    Like why do so many people have such an issue with projecting "transgender" backwards through history and culture but are fine with projecting "gender" or "sexuality" or "woman" or "gender diversity" or any part of modern English generally

        I think he'd be deeply confused to be accused of being a butcher from the Greek island of Lesbos "You must have me confused with some other man"

        (And if he did know of "lesbian" as a metaphorical term from reading Swinburne's poetry he'd probably be really pissed All the "queer is a slur" people don't seem to know that "gay" and "lesbian" BOTH started out meaning "slutty" rather than having to do with orientation)

        When you see people complaining about memes re: "gay haircuts" and "gay fashion" and "gay culture" "Wtf is all this party/youth culture bullshit associated with 'gay' When did 'gay' stop just meaning 'homosexual'" I understand the complaint my friend but hold up just a second

        Like look at the word "gay" What does it actually literally mean in the dictionary That IS what it originally meant, it's just kept that stable meaning for decades while also having this secondary meaning expand out of control

        Same with Tumblr using "the straights" to mean being conformist, conservative and boring That's literally also what it meant first

        In times like these, I simply go for the good old “how did people breathe before the Lavoisiers discovered and named oxygen?”

        Replying to @Erkhyan @arthur_affect

        If a woman is defined by having XX chromosomes, can we really project the identity "woman" onto people who lived before sex chromosomes were discovered in 1905-ish?
