Right, your buddy tried the exact same point on this yesterday and you must have seen it otherwise you wouldn't be copying it today:

They do.

Identifying transgender people from artifacts found with the remains is an ongoing development in archaeology, but evidence has been catalogued throughout ancient burial sites.

And you'd know that if you did your homework on a talking point before you repeated it. Don't just blindly repeat what you hear: Google it. What IS the story of identifying genders of human remains in archaeology research literature?

Because without doing your homework, you just show that you're repeating something you think sounds true while taking no time at all to think about whether it is. Why would you tell on yourself like that?

How many of thise are there in the last couple if days?

Saw part of a program about the ages long custom of well recieved and respected she-men in Tonga the other day.

From various American Indian groups prior to European invasion to Asian Indians still today, etc, the practice of men living as women is hardly rare.

Incidentally, archaeologists have found evidence of crossdressing males utilized in Mesopotamian temple rituals.
The distaste in Judeo/Christian religion for men dressing as such apparently grew out of a negative reaction to it since it was part of this 'enemy' religion.

So far I've only noticed the two, but some memes slip right past me so who knows? They clearly got this from some right-wing YouTuber or something who said "go forth and push this argument."

It's always been a weird thing with people. The Vedic texts straight up say that there have always been people who aren't necessarily men or women, but in conservative Indian culture you'll still get people who just don't want to hear that transgenderism exists.

I have guesses as to why transphobia is such a flashpoint that conservative people will make it the hill to die on, but nothing that I would call knowledge.

Was at least two I saw, not sure if more, just figured that was the tip of the torrent as they usually turn out to be. And I would love to see Cue Card Central for them, "Today, say: AOC said cows must be taught to fart into pipes gong into the ground to stop Global Warming"

Conservative Indians as in their own going way back, or as in Colonial Brit imbued conservative which trimmed off the once more free forays into coital gymnastics of days of yore?

That last part is a good question. I'm not sure.

They were allegedly less constipated before then.
However, I have doubts Britain (or anyone) could have so throughly altered the mores of such a large and varied place & population.

On transgenderism, I'm not sure - more generally, it depends heavily on which part of India. Some were quite prudish even before the British showed up, while the odd kingdom here and there kept the spirit of '69 going through the ages.

Same place the other 5 times you wimped out and self deleted? You know, like in my meme of graves?

Go check for a refresher, the directions are there.
Don't forget to book that flight.

Oh, and try not to kill yourself again this time, it gets the floor messy with your pee, mkay?
