ITV is filming a drama about Queen Elizabeth I that will portray her as a trans-identifying man who hid his sex and became queen. She will be played by a trans-identifying man, of course. I am so tired of this sh!t. Any historical woman who stepped outside of the narrow gender roles men tried to force upon her gets transed, and this particular idea is even more insulting to women than portraying Elizabeth as a woman who secretly identified as a man. Almost as insulting is the stupidity level of the entire premise. Had Elizabeth been born male, she’d have been Henry VIII’s immediate successor, Anne Boleyn wouldn’t have lost her head, and Jane Seymour would never have wed Henry or produced Edward. We’d also have avoided Bloody Mary. There would have been absolutely no reason to hide a male child’s sex from a king who so desperately wanted a male heir that he broke from the Church in an effort to secure one. archive.ph/nUIxV
