I went back to reading Neil Price's vikings, the book has very interesting insights but holy shit, I didn't expect for him to dedicate 25 pages to viking gender fluidity (an entire chapter). He begins the chapter talking about how there were non-binary or “queer” people in their society, then he goes on talking about how homophobic and sexist viking society was, how ancient germanics and norse cultures used to shame and even kill men for engaging in homosexual acts, but then, he talks about a certain tomb found in sweden of a person dressed in armor, recent studies showed it was a woman and the author speculates whether it could have been a transgender lmao. Why do academics keep doing this projection :marseyprojection: into the past?

I fricking hate this kind of shit. The main archaeology museum in Chicago did the same thing in one of their recent exhibits - a woman was found buried with a battleaxe of some kind therefore clearly "he" was a trans man and not just a woman with a battleaxe.

It's funny how much scholars have reverted to gender essentialism “being a warrior is something only a man would do!”

One of the most hilarious bits of that chapter was when the author talked about burial sites where skeletons of men were found with jewelry which belonged to women. Then he says “while those could have belonged to female relatives, we should take the possibility these people were non-binary/ transgender as a valid one”

How can these people be serious lol.
