British academics projecting “trans theory” into the past have argued that the graves of Anglo-Saxon warriors show there were transgender people among their ranks.
Examining the graves of Anglo-Saxon warriors through a “transness lens” suggests that trans warriors may have existed 1,500 years ago, says James Davison, a PhD candidate and medieval history tutor at the University of Liverpool. , argued that this suggests the possibility that she is a so-called transgender. Women may have been highly valued in society.
“Using a trans studies approach that recognizes the possibilities of gender beyond the male/female binary in historical culture allows researchers to approach these burials more critically,” he said. is writing. telegraph paper.
Davison argued that “drawing on the lens of trans theory and the 21st century language of ‘transness’ has the potential to improve historians’ understanding of early Anglo-Saxon gender.”
The researchers admitted that their study was merely “speculative” but insisted there was one grave in the Buckland cemetery burial ground that could be interpreted as belonging to a transgender individual. The site, excavated between 1951 and 1953, is one of the most severely deteriorated remains, even though it contained artifacts typically associated with male warriors, such as swords, shields and spearheads. It was classified as “probably female.”
Because of this apparent contradiction, Davison said, “this could be interpreted as the grave of a trans man who enjoyed a respected position within the community and demonstrated wealth, masculinity, and perhaps warrior status.” I can’t do it,” he claimed. Status – Through his shield, sword, and spear. ”
Shakespeare’s Globe Theater in London has announced that its next play will portray the famous French female warrior and Catholic saint Joan of Arc as a gender-neutral character with “they/them” pronouns.

The study comes amid a growing trend in academia and the arts to draw on contemporary gender theory and apply it to historical figures.
For example, in November the North Hertfordshire Museum, now under the control of the left-wing council government, branded the third-century Roman emperor Elagabalus as transgender. The museum continued to refer to the Roman ruler by the pronoun “she” to make the exhibition more “inclusive.”
Previously, members of the theater company at London’s Shakespeare’s Globe Theater used the pronouns “they/them” in a production depicting the life of Joan of Arc, the famous teenage French warrior and Catholic saint. We decided to cast her as a “gender-neutral” character. This statement was made despite the fact that there is no historical evidence that this religious figure considered herself anything other than a woman.
Research into the supposedly transgender Anglo-Saxon warriors has not progressed as much as other researchers who argue for a woke history, with a study by Cambridge University’s Anglo-Saxon, Nordic and Celtic Department (ASNC) last year stating that the Ango-Saxons were He argued that this was not the case. It was even suggested that they existed as a separate ethnic group and that they were just a myth used to promote British nationalism.
