Although trans* visibility has only increased in recent years, it is not a new experience. Transgressing gender boundaries is not a fad.

Trans* history is as diverse and far-reaching as human civilization. 

In this book I will explore gender nonconformity in early Western civilization.  My focus will be on stories from Late Antiquity through the early Middle Ages in Europe. 

Before reading, please be aware that there have been a lot of negative attitudes directed towards gender variant people throughout history. Negativity does not negate our existence! We exist today, we existed in yesteryear, and our history should no longer be ignored.All Rights Reserved

Enigmatic Affections by transmasc_mayhem

His name was Josephin' Recalcitrant - Jo or Jojo even, but his mother called him Josephine. ... I could only hope that Hogwarts would be better. Papa told me to not announce myself, to just try to fit in - that it would then be better than Beauxbatons. Personally, I hoped that it would be better than home too. Nonetheless, being a Veela was going to make me stand out wherever I went anyways, being trans would hopefully be the least of my worries there. ... Jojo, a 12 year old French wizard meets Hogwarts - as well as all of its utter mayhem and nonsense. Despite him hoping to blend in and maybe, just maybe, find some friends who accept him for him; His family's history seems to dog him even in Scotland - and Hogwarts leaves him wishing for peace and quite as he seems to do the exact opposite of 'lay low', and to his chagrin draws the attention of a certain blonde. As well as a few others, who simply wont let him be. But after surviving two years in Beauxbatons per his mothers demand, surely the English school wont be too bad? Well... lets just say that things are often more of an enigma than they really seem, aren't they?

Cinderella Can't be a Guy by Hunter_Kid

Thomas should live in a time and age where people don't care about sexuality or gender identification but that isn't true as his mother refuses to think of him as anything other than her son and Thomas. To the people important in his life, Thomas is actually Ginger and a female. She's almost done with high school and ready to get out from under her oppressive mother's thumb and live the rest of her life how she wants to. This is a story I wrote for creative writing class. I wasn't intending to publish it so I didn't think much about the title. I did take the original title of A Glass Slipper by Jackson Terrance. I really loved this title and I was sad when they changed it.

Reincarnated ~ A Modern Newsies Au (Nowsies) by VaquitaLibra

Some people believe in reincarnation, others don't. But past lives are real, as this group of teens in the 21st century will soon find out. For they are the reincarnates of people who lived a hundred years ago, in 1899. They keep having weird feelings of déjà vu; déjà vu that's increasing. As they struggle to navigate their lives as high schoolers, they search to find out who they were in the past, and what all of these things mean when it comes to their identity and who they are. None of these characters are mine. Rights go to Disney. The story idea and story alone are mine. Please, no homophobia, transphobia, slurs, profanities, hate, etc at all times.

I called back while climbing into my chariot. "But you only get a kiss if you come back alive!" ---- "Welcome to Castle Dimitrescu, my name is-." "Isa?!" I cut them off, causing the demigod to look up in shock. "...I-I knew you were here, but I didn't expect you to be working here." "...[Y/N]," Isa tensed before glancing behind them, relaxing a second later. "I take it your Father sent you with the medicine? Come in, it's freezing out there anyway." I stepped inside before they shut the door, handing them the bag as I shivered. "You're telling me. At least it's very warm in here." "Mhm," Isa frowned and placed their hand on my lower back to guide me through the castle. "Come on, let's get you warmed up. [Y/N]... There's something you should know before you see Hunter - I know that's another reason you're here."
