TIL trans men and trans masc top surgery were a thing in the ancient Roman empire.

Romans when potential female homosexuality: 😫

Romans when trans-boy-with-cis-girl relationship: 🥰

... the past is a funny place.

Iran is a modern version, sort of a fun house mirror of LGBT acceptance. They'll accept you if you're trans, but YOU DAMN WELL BETTER BE STRAIGHT!

You know I really should have just tried praying to Isis first. Transition was expensive and such a pain in the ass. Though, being an ancient God, I imagine if you pray to Isis requesting a gender transition, she'll probably demand an offering or make you perform a feat so great in exchange that the savings and effort over regular transition just cancel out. Or she'll change your sex, but also turn you into a cow or bull for some reason, just to be dick.
