How long till Boudica is classified as a trans man? (Surely a "cis" woman would never lead a rebellion?)

Museum reclassifies Roman emperor as trans woman

It comes after classical texts quote the emperor saying "call me not Lord, for I am a Lady".

On the plus side, the BBC article itself used accurate pronouns throughout.

I am glad to see historians are speaking up and pointing out the source of the claim he was trans is literally a well known example of character assassination Roman propaganda

There seem to be a lot of people who think that political propaganda, character assassination of your enemies and imputation to them of any and every sexual vice is a new thing.

Love Tom Holland (historian, have no view on actor)

Just to add nothing to the conversation, (the actor) Tom Holland’s pater is Dom Holland. Presumably his mater is Mom Holland…unless she goes by ‘Mr’…

Oh FFS. In the article there's one sensible historian talking about the way references to femininity were used to demean enemies and a completely unqualified idiot---- person saying TW. Fed up of these attempts to rewrite history assuming that everyone lives in 2023.
