To any video game developers who think “historical accuracy = no queer people,” I present to you a thread, brought to you by a queer trans history degree recipient:
The first known gay couple dates back to nearly 2400 BCE, in ancient Egypt: them.us/story/themstor…
(No, they were not close brothers lol)

TW 9/11 and domestic terrorism: For me, today is like looking back at a forked road. One where my dad came home on a red-eye flight and we cooked the live Maine lobster he brought with him in a styrofoam box, and one where he got on that second plane that hit the towers.
He just finished an 800-mile bike ride for AIDS, and it was the longest we went without seeing him at the time. He stood at the airport payphones and called his best friend to find him a different flight to get him home sooner. My mom was grumpy driving to the airport

This week I went to the DMV to finally transfer my state driver’s license, and it was the best experience I’ve yet to have. The thing is though, my “proof of ID” docs were in my deadname. 1/72/7 Lots of people who know West Virginia to be conservative, my trans self included, would be nervous to go to the DMV for this. I have the privilege of “passing” and most people wouldn’t know I’m trans unless I told them. I had to tell these complete strangers who I used to be.
