All things Transgender related

More to your point: in my experience, many people have a circumscribed understanding of areas in which "intellectual authority" or "expertise" exists--and at first glance, you look like one of them (I'm happy to be wrong about this). That's the backdrop of this thread's entire discussion of science.rgambs said:

Ok, well maybe it's in your field that we find a lack of authority.ecdanc said:

Either way, you haven't addressed a number of the issue taken with your assertion, and it doesn't seem like you are interested in doing so. I suppose we should reopen the floor for the topic at hand.

Just so I stay on topic. Cross dressing and gender switching in Shakespeare was very much a thing. There may not have been the actual word homosexuality, but it was a thing. Pinning it all on the Victorians is just not accurate.and that seems to be where Eddie Izard began. Labeling himself as such. Until the language was developed for him(on a given day, her on another) to state gender fluidity.Isnt identity an expressed vision of self? Same might be said for transvestites or cross-dressers , depending on who is using which term.

Within the works. During the era in which Shakespeare wrote, women were not allowed on stage. All female characters were played by boys. Several plays feature female characters (played by boys) who "disguise" themselves as men to acquire freedom or power. Twelfth Night, As You Like It most prominently. To see a contemporary treatment of it, I highly recommend the movie Shakespeare in Live, which is just a really FUN look at the theater of the timemickeyrat said:

EDIT: so as an English major, I was subject to much research on "Homoeroticism and Gender Identity in Name Your Play." Basically the same stuff we are discussing today, boys kissing boys on stage.Post edited by what dreams on0 -

Well, despite my love for the art of literature, I tend to favor (heavily, I suppose) intellectual authority in objective topics.ecdanc said:

To get back on topic... I've heard theybe before, but never really given it any thought?
Is baby a gendered term, or is it a way to signify to people a desire to avoid gendering. Or something else?
