These sorts of ritualised humiliation seem to have happened throughout the ages so far as I can tell, there's very little difference between JK Rowling saying "Trans Women are Men" and Catullus in the 1st Century BCE making up a trans woman character and calling her a "Spurious Woman" in Catullus 63

I’ve been immersed in Theodosian Code since May, but awoke to find Prof. @stephaniemccarter.bsky.social ’s new Catullus translation. It’s amazing to see a person you admired as an undergraduate at UVA now killing it as a classicist & translator. Amo et Amo. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/667356...
