Episode 85 - transgender people have been around since forever!

And we will take as much time as it takes to talk about it!!! Trans people have existed and will continue to exist. Documented history notes a “third sex” as far back as 7000BCE. They existed in every culture, just as gay and queer people. They lived alongside many religions and are acknowledged in several. This ep is quite long. We won’t be recording for about 3 weeks so we hope this will do. Be well. Stay safe. Get educated. Share information not misinformation.

Welcome to Bitchstory! We are uncovering history's forgotten heroines and badasses. Most of the women covered on this show have been left out of the history books for reasons you can guess. Some are names you know, some are women that history has completely snubbed. We are revising history to be fun, inclusive, entertaining, and of course, feminist as f*ck!
