Access References HereThis is a collection of sources relevant to intersex individuals within Greece and Rome. I’ve actually been meaning to put these excerpts together somewhere, and I’ve finally got a space on tumblr to do this, so here we are! As a warning, the H-slur will be present in many of these texts. This term today has a negative and stigmatizing context behind it which should be understood, along with its misleading connotations. The term implies that a person is both equal parts fully male and female biologically, which is simply impossible to occur in reality. The Intersex Society of America explains this better than me.I feel though that rather than censoring the term out, it is better to present these historical sources as I have found them to the best of abilities possible. Many of these sources as well are related of course to ideas of gender.Since the translations I use here are all open sourced, a disclaimer: most of the translations I refer to are inevitably the older ones; you have to tread carefully when reading.Another disclaimer: rape, murder, child murder, and other such things are present in the sources as well. You’ve been warned.I’ve added some commentary to a few of the sources to add any extra background that I can. If someone wants to add more, be my guest! Please message me. If you have any issues, feel free to message me, once again.Intersex Organizations on Tumblr: oiiaustralia | interactyouth To filter for specific categories, click the button like so: -- source link
