It is 4500 BC. Your are the prophet Teresias. You interrupt two snakes having sex and piss off Hera, so she turns you into a woman. Transition is new and experimental.

Public Universal Friend is one of the most fascinating historical examples to me.
I think there's an entire Modern era subgenre of women becoming men. It was based on something me thinks.
It is 2300 BCE. You are Enheduanna, high priestess of Ur and the first named author in history. You write a hymn praising the goddess Inanna for her power "to turn a man into a woman and a woman into a man." Her temple is staffed with gender-variant priests. Transitioning is new and experimental.
Sooooo.... Being trapped in the wrong gender has been around a couple years? Very interesting.
Even the Kama Sutra makes a probable reference to this. Have a look at Hijra communities, not exactly what’s being discussed here - but close enough to be relevant.
And, I think, First Nations also do and did: modern movement
Ancient humans were just like us just without access to the internet/electricity.
Like functionally nothing has changed about us other than having access to amounts of knowledge that would make an ancient person think we were all powerful.
our lives have significantly, unrecognizably, irreversibly changed since we left our small tribes, and that absolutely impacts the ways we develop. just because we have the same dna as our ancestors (to many significant figures) doesn't mean that there aren't structural, neurological differences in our brains. partly to accommodate the much larger worldview we're educated in from a young age, partly due to differences in habits and lifestyle and nutrition (just think about how artificial light has changed our relationship with sleep, or how diverse diets and processed food have affected our digestive tracts). but mostly we're dealing with entirely different pressures and part of the evolutionary reason for a slow growth period is specifically to make us more adaptable.
i don't want to be rude or come off as a chud but i don't like this comment because it disregards the simple fact that we did not evolve to adapt to living in cities with millions of neighbors, or watching 24/7 cable 'news', so while our brains are doing the best they can in this environment, there are a lot of new stressors and prolonged stress literally changes the physical and chemical structure of the brain.
(and knowledge of how to purchase and operate a cell phone is not the same as knowledge of how to build one, which is what would really get you worshipped as a god. i guess it depends on whether we go to their time or they come to ours)
I understand every point you've made but you also kind of prove my point. We're only the way we are now because we have access to so much information. So much knowledge that was gained through millennia of experience.
That's the only thing that separates us. Accumulated knowledge. They were just as smart. Just as curious. Just as innovative. They just didn't have the vast collective knowledge we have today. They were the ones who came up with the most primitive ideas that form the very base of everything we know today.
I think this is the most successful play of the conservatives, just pretend being trans is new and groundbreaking, and clearly if all the generations up to now didn’t need to be trans, neither do we now. It’s both a stupid take and an impressive rewriting of history
NSFW, sad
It's 2026 (probably way earlier tbh). Trans women are one of the most popular porn categories and have been for years, especially among conservative men. Transitioning is new and experimental.
Yuck
