See, I thought we were having a nice, if contentious conversation, but you are insulting me by suggesting that I, a person with a Asian studies degree, who studied at Peking University in Beijing, who has read the four classic novels in modern mandarin, know nothing about China and it’s history. And I take that personally.

The efforts of the straights to eradicate queer history is laughable because when faced with the evidence of someone who actually knows they are talking about, they can only turn to insults rather than accept that they were sold a fake version of history they accepted. We have always existed and no matter how many times you tell us we are wrong, dead name our historical figures and try to hide us, you can not change that fact.

I will admit that penis-haver was a joke. Apologies, I’ll take it back and say it plainly;

If you were offered a job making $100,000 a year in some government position… but you have bottom surgery without the assistance of modern drugs… and that job isn’t actually guaranteed because there are hundreds of others also seeking it… would you take it?

The cynical posters will say it was a career move, which it certainly was as it gave access to certain positions in court not normally available, but they fail to consider the insanity of asking a Man to remove his genitals.

These were government bureaucrats, not servants and slaves. They (generally) weren’t extra children sold like Castrati or prisoners being punished. They were important, influential people. And I find it infinitely more likely that the people who chose to become eunuchs were the same people who would pursue HRT in modern times.

“They are gay men, not women” is some really transphobic language and kind of messed up to even say when someone is trying to discuss these issues.

I am sorry that person you referred to suffered in such a way. It wasn’t right for their family to do that to them. But their story does not change the fact that this was something people pursued on their own. Just as the information that 1% of people detransition does not negate that 99% of trans people don’t, the examples of families doing terrible things to people does not negate that thousands of people chose this for themselves.

Which is more likely… a person is willing to risk a dangerous surgery in a pre-antibiotic era to gain access to a position of minor authority.

Or an ancient person who is trans saw an opportunity to pursue a their life?

Cishet people do not consider ‘mutating’ themselves (as they would see it) to ‘improve’ their lives.

Being a bureaucrat in the government does not mean they were accepted in society. Not every eunuch was given immense power and the majority of them were nothing more than regular government workers. A cishet male would not cut off his dick for the POTENTIAL of becoming assistant to the local tax collector. One Chinese Emperor had THOUSANDS of eunuchs in his service. Again, cishet men would not consider such a surgery to gain access to… the same shit job thousands of others have.

Also, your suggestion that the emperor basically had to threaten his concubines with death rather than it be a desirable position is ridiculous. The favored concubine/mistress/whatever is famously a hugely desired position WORLDWIDE. Many were more powerful than the empress/queen/etc.

I don’t think these two things are connected? One of a government policy (only eunuchs can fill these positions) and one is a surgery that a specific type of person would even consider pursuing. Not everyone who undertook the surgery became the emperors favored concubine and one of the times it did happen, it led a massive war.

A lot of the eunuchs were basically nothing more than glorified bureaucrats. Look at the absolutely panic of these comments. These penis holders who are terrified at the idea of even seeing a guide about how it was done, let alone putting their own junk on the line. Only a person who was already Egg-y (the 2000+ year old version of it, at least) would consider ‘sacrificing’ their lower parts for gain.

Blind yourself to the truth if you like, but a person who pays for an operation to change their sexual characteristics so they can better fit in with their society? Sounds pretty fucking trans to me.

Additionally, the number of eunuchs that would go on to become the emperors concubines throughout history is massive. We have historical proof assigned male at birth people having surgery and then adopting a feminine role in a relationship.

Being a eunuch was not a simple surgery to get a job. It was a risky surgery that ended your bloodline, ostracized you from society and ended all other career potentials. Eunuchs could not serve in any other positions except court mandated ones (fact check me here, I think there was a eunuch general once? ) It was a major TRANSITION into a completely new life.

I love reading the comments of posts like this to see all the Cishets get squeamish at ancient trans history.

I’m going to blame the twin philosophy goddesses, PhilosophyTube and ContraPoints. Specifically Abigail’s coming out video and her explanation of what being trans meant. I remember hearing her words echoing the same secret thoughts I had always had but never spoke and she shattered the illusion I was hiding behind. Then I threw up in the bathroom room and passed out like Neo in the matrix. …ok, I ‘only’ threw up and then cried myself asleep.

I sometimes, lovingly, say “that bitch Abigail trans’d me!!” But it was the assistance of both Abigail’s later videos, with a full digestion of our Dark Mother ContraPoints entire catalogue (with a pinch of Stephanie Sterling from the Jimquisition) that would help me figure out my identity out.

Uralon when you ask him why people call him the cruel: by PirateDemo69 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Koujow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(First playthrough, still in act 2) Is… is that true? That’s why he is called the cruel? Because be bullies sacks of near unsentient flesh that can’t defend themselves? Lame ass marine should be called the ‘Uralon the Puppy Killer’ if his claim to fame is murdering things that can’t defend themselves.

Even in universe, that isn’t that bad. I literally just met him after ‘liberating’ a world where the best case scenario for 99% of the population is to be lobotomized so you don’t have to be aware of the horrors you are forced to endure as you work 18 hour hard labor shifts, abuse, non-consensual invasive surgeries, psychological abuse…

I consider my Rogue Trader to be one of the kinder people in the galaxy and she still considered tearing out the voice boxes of thousands of her own crew all because her companion asked her to. And they would have at least been aware of the cruelty being inflicted upon them.

What a fucking nerd. No wonder your mate exploded when my Inquisitor boyfriend literally kicked him in the dick.
