I wonder if it felt like this in the later Roman Empire, listening to Elagabalus or Honorius giving a speech.

Why do we care about what pronouns we use for the Ancient Roman emperor Elagabalus? (And, if we care about that, should we care that Elagabalus was never actually called Elagabalus?)

They do this with Elagabalus a lot, totally eliding the logical conclusion that transsexuality was at least enough of a culturally recognisable condition to "slur" her with.

Roman Emperor Elagabalus, who ruled from age 14 to 18, was assassinated on this date in 222. His rule featured indifference to his duties, fervent sexual debauchery and chariot races inside the royal villa. "Come on, I'm a teenager. Whaddaya expect?" he whined before being decapitated. "This sucks."

Elagabalus was made a Roman Emperor at the age of just 14. The Emperor often wore wigs and makeup, and liked to be referred to by feminine titles. Elagabalus reportedly offered a large sum of money to any doctor who could give them a vagina.

Going to do a year-end writing roundup, because I actually wrote a lot this year that I'm very proud of!
