Explanation: The Roman Emperor Elagabalus was noted for having an… atypical gender presentation at the time. It’s commonly accepted nowadays that Elagabalus was probably trans or NB as we would recognize it in the modern day, asking to be called the feminine form of address, wearing women’s clothing, marrying men and women, and offering half the Empire (!!!) for a good SRS doc. As with all matters historical, the details are always up for debate, though, especially the reliability of the sources and the applicability of modern labels to pre-modern individuals.

Unfortunately, they were not good rep, as they were a teenager who was given sudden control of an entire Empire and all of its fabulous wealth and potential for abuse, and used that as one might expect a teenager to do.

The two correct answers:

No, because “trans” is a modern cultural concept that they didn’t have at the time. It’s like asking “was Vercingetorix punk?”

And the other answer is: Yes, because use your eyes.
