Trigger Warning for discussions of genocide, transphobia, and mention of suicide Note: There are some audio sync issues on this episode between me and Jo. Apologies for that. I'm still learning how to edit audio smoothly. I'm going to leave the episode as is though (unless its just utterly unlistenable). It's a learning experience.  Episode music can be found here: https://uppbeat.io/track/paulo-kalazzi/heros-time Day 3 will dive deep into the historic context surrounding trans identities, look at the origins of the gender binary, look at famous trans individuals throughout history, and tackle the modern manifestations of transphobia and how it all adds up to a trans genocide. Day 3 features special guest Jo Dinozzi, actor, fight choreopgrapher, and Director of A Sketch of New York. Episode notes to follow: Hey, Hi, Hello, this is the History Wizard and welcome back for Day 3 of Have a Day w/ The History Wizard. Thank you to everyone who tuned in for Day 2 last week, and especially thank you to everyone who rated and/or reviewed the podcast. I hope you all learned something last week and I hope the same for this week. This week we're going to be talking about the trans genocide that is currently ongoing in the United States, this is certainly an issue in other parts of the West, such as Canada and the UK, but I live in the US and that's the location that I am most qualified and able to speak on. As with last week we're not going to be starting with what's happening right now in 2024. We're going to dive deep into the historical context surrounding trans gender identities and their perpetual position as a marginalized community. Before we get into that though! I have something special for you this episode! Today we are joined by a guest, my good friend, Jo Dinozzi. Hi Jo, thanks so much for joining me today. So, I thought we'd start today off with an examination of the gender binary and where it all started. According to Suzzanah Weiss, a feminist writer and sexologist with a Masters of Professional Studies in Sexual Health from the University of Minnesota:  “Arguably, modern notions of the gender binary originated during the Enlightenment,” they say. “That's when scientists and physicians adopted what historians call a ‘two-sex model' when describing people's bodies.” This model treated male and female bodies as opposites, and as the only two options. “Up until that point, popular thinkers thought more along the lines of a one-sex model, where male and female bodies were homologous,” explains Weiss. Case and point: female genitalia were viewed as male genitalia turned inward, and female orgasm was deemed necessary for reproduction since male orgasm was. Indeed, the one-sex model had its own problems. Mainly, women were often viewed as incomplete men. “But the two-sex model created new problems, such as the devaluing of female sexuality and the erasure of anyone outside the gender binary,” they say. You can find more information on the one sex theory and the emergence of the two sex theory in Thomas Laqueur's book Making Sex: Body and Gender from the Greeks to Freud. So far though we've just been looking at Western ideas of gender though, many cultures around the world have far more expansive views of gender, though many of these ideas of gender are still attached to biological features and characteristics. Some examples of these include the Hijra from Hinduism, to further underline how bigoted Western systems of power can be, the British passed a law in 1871 categorizing all Hijra people as criminals. The Bugis ethnic group of South Sulawesi, Indonesia, recognizes three genders beyond the binary. These are the Calalai, the Calabai, and the Bissu.Something interesting to note is while Bugis gender is often described as a spectrum, bissu are deemed to be above this classification: spiritual beings who are not halfway between male and female, but rather embody the power of both at once. In Mexico there is a third gender called Muxes which is deeply embedded within the indigenous Zapotec culture. Since the 1970s, every year in November, muxes celebrate La Vela de las Auténticas Intrépidas Buscadoras del Peligro, or the Festival of the Authentic and Intrepid Danger-Seekers, a day of energetic merriment to honor muxes. There's also Sekarata from the Sajalava people indigenous to Madagascar. They are viewed as both sacred and protected by supernatural powers. There is, of course, Two Spirit people. This is a pan Indigenous North American term that was coined in the 1990s as a way for the indigenous LGBTQIA+ for reject white, Western, ideas about queerness and gender identity. There has been some push back against the term Two Spirit as some see it as inherently recognizing the Western Gender binary. Many indigenous tribes such as Niitsitapi, the Cheyenne, the Cree, the Lakota, and the Ojibwe, to name just a few have their own terms for these gender identities that fall outside of the binary. Those terms are, of course, in their own languages and I think I would only insult some people with how poorly I pronounce them. So, suffice it to say, you can find more information about this on the wikipedia article for Two-Spirit under the subheading Traditional Indigenous Terms. Last culture I want to go over for today is Judiasm. Jewish law, or halacha recognizes 8 distinct genders. The two classic ones that we all know and have mixed feelings about and then 6 others Androgynos, Tumtum, Aylonit hamah, Aylonit adam, Saris hamah, Saris adam.  So, as we can clearly see, the idea of a strict gender binary of only Male and Female isn't an idea that was always widely accepted and the fact that is has crept into so many cultures around the world that had much greater levels of acceptance of diverse identities is solely the fault of western colonialism and white supremacy. Something that should be noted is that gender identity and gender presentation are two different things in a society and often for individuals. I, for example, identify as agender or gender apathetic. I don't identify with any gender at all really, but my gender presentation is decidedly masculine. In my opinion gender identity is internal and specific to each individual person, whereas gender presentation is external and based on the culture you live in and how that society views the way a specific gender traditionally looks. With that out of the way let's talk about the greatest nightmare of Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro… pronouns. You've got them, I've got them, everyone's got them. Well, that might not, actually be true. There might very easily be people who don't feel that any currently available pronoun fits their own concept of gender. I guess it's more accurate to say that I have never met anyone who doesn't use any pronouns. There's a specific set of pronouns that I want to discuss today, though we could likely do a whole other episode on just pronouns. I want to talk about they/them pronouns. Cause, those are really the ones that started this whole temper tantrum conservatives have been throwing for the past several years. They say that they/them is a plural pronoun, and always has been. As if language never changes and we were all STILL speaking Old English.  Hell, when the folks who made the King James Bible were translating it they used thee, thou, thy, and thine as singular and ye, you, your, and yours as plural. Also, Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Jane Austen all used the singular they in their works. It's been in the Canterbury Tales, Hamlet, and Pride and Prejudice. So, if we're gonna be pedantic about it, I have sources to back up my pedantry and they don't. But also, language evolves! We have contronyms now! Words that are their own opposites! So, just chill and take the opportunity to grow, if you haven't already. Next thing to talk about is, of course, the difference between gender and sex. Gender is an internal identity that is based on your own relationship with the concept of gender. Sex is biological and is, frankly just based on your genitals. No one is out there doing chromosome tests on every single baby born. A doctor just looks at your crotch and decides. They'll also assign you a gender at birth based on those same characteristics, but just because you're assigned a gender doesn't mean you have to keep it. We also have to note that, just like gender, sex also exists on a spectrum. And listen, you don't have to believe me. Go watch Season 1, Episode 9 of Bill Nye Saves The World. He'll tell you too, and if you don't trust Bill Nye on Science, you're a fool of a Took. I'm actually going to turn the mic fully over to Jo at this point as she is far better informed on this topic than I am. (Insert Jo here) Now, something that we need to talk about is the Recency Illusion. There are many people that believe trans gender people are somehow a new phenomenon. That they haven't always existed throughout history. So here are some examples for you to do some more reading on, on your own. Ashurbanipal (669-631BCE) - King of the Neo-Assryian empire, who according to Diodorus Siculus is reported to have dressed, behaved, and socialized as a woman. Elagabalus (204-222 CE) - Roman Emperor who preferred to be called a lady and not a lord, presented as a woman, called herself her lover's queen and wife, and offered vast sums of money to any doctor able to make her anatomically female. Kalonymus ben Kalonymus (1286-1328) - French Jewish philosopher who wrote poetry about longing to be a woman. Eleanor Rykener (14th century) - trans woman in London who was questioned under charges of sex work Chevalier d'Eon (1728-1810) - French diplomat, spy, freemason, and soldier who fought in the Seven Years' War, who transitioned at the age of 49 and lived the remaining 33 years of her life as a woman. And, of course: Sylvia Rivera (1951-2002) - Gay liberation and trans rights pioneer and community worker in NYC; co-founded STAR, a group dedicated to helping homeless young drag queens, gay youth, and trans women Marsha P. Johnson (1945-1992) - Gay liberation and trans rights pioneer; co-founded STAR with Sylvia Rivera, the woman who threw a brick to start the Stonewall Riots And, I would be remiss if we didn't talk about my favorite trans gender individual in history, the Public Universal Friend. The Public Universal Friend was originally a Quaker born in 1752. However, The Friend contracted a very serious illness, suspected to be typhus, in 1776 and nearly died. Once the Friend had recovered they shunned their original name and all gendered pronouns. Asking to be referred to only as the Public Universal Friend, the P.U.F. or simply as the Friend. Whenever someone asked if the Friend was male or female, the Friend would merely reply. “I am that I am”. The Friend would go on to form an offshoot of Quakerism called the Society of Universal friends which, unfortunately, ceased to exist in 1860, 41 years after the Friend's death in 1819. The congregation's death book records: “25 minutes past 2 on the Clock, The Friend went from here.” We're starting to make our way to more modern issues now, next on our docket is the looting of the Institute of Sexology in Berlin in 1933. On 6 May 1933, the Institute of Sexology, an academic foundation devoted to sexological research and the advocacy of homosexual rights, was broken into and occupied by Nazi-supporting youth. Several days later the entire contents of the library were removed and burned. The Institute was founded by Magnus Hischfield in 1919 and was the earliest institution to be doing research into gender affirming surgery, as well as offering contraceptive services and sexual health education. The Institute actually performed one of, if not the first, gender affirming surgery in 1931. It was bottom surgery for a trans woman named Dora Richter. She is believed to have died in the initial attack on the Institute. On May 10th, the German Student Union, a group of young Nazis, dragged every single book and bit of research out of the Institute, piled them in Bebelplatz Square and set them on fire. This was the first, and largest book burning of the 3rd Reich, with over 20,000 books burned. There is no telling how far back trans gender health research was set by this event. Hirschfield wasn't in Germany when the book burning occurred. He was on a world speaking tour and remained in Nice, France after he finished. He died there of a heart attack in 1935. We're getting closer and closer to the modern day now dear listeners. Before we get there I want to talk with you about a resource I like to use called the Pyramid of Hate. It was designed by the ADL based on the Alport Scale of Prejudice, which was created by psychologist Gordon Alport in 1954. The Pyramid illustrates the prevalence of bias, hate and oppression in our society. It is organized in escalating levels of attitudes and behavior that grow in complexity from bottom to top. Like a pyramid, the upper levels are supported by the lower levels; unlike a pyramid, the levels are not built consecutively or to demonstrate a ranking of each level. Bias at each level reflects a system of oppression that negatively impacts individuals, institutions and society. Unchecked bias can become “normalized” and contribute to a pattern of accepting discrimination, violence and injustice in society.  The second level of the Pyramid included bigoted humor as one of these hallmarks of systems of oppression. There are many people who feel that humor is somewhat sacred. That it falls outside the standard array of ethics and that anything can be joked about, because it's just a joke and there's nothing serious about it. If you are the type of person who believes that… well you probably haven't made it this far into the episode. Regardless, let me draw everyone's attention to a PhD dissertation written by former appellate attorney of the Texas 5th Circuit Court Jason P. Steed. Steed says, and I'm quoting directly from a series of tweets he made a few years ago: You're never "just joking." Nobody is ever "just joking." Humor is a social act that performs a social function (always). To say humor is a social act is to say it is always in social context; we don't joke alone. Humor is a way we relate/interact with others. Which is to say, humor is a way we construct identity - who we are in relation to others. We use humor to form groups… ...and to find our individual place in or out of those groups. In short, joking/humor is one tool by which we assimilate or alienate. We use humor to bring people into - or keep them out of - our social groups. This is what humor *does.* What it's for. Consequently, how we use humor is tied up with ethics - who do we embrace, who do we shun, and how/why? And the assimilating/alienating function of humor works not only on people but also on *ideas.* This is why, e.g., racist "jokes" are bad. Not just because they serve to alienate certain people, but also because… ...they serve to assimilate the idea of racism (the idea of alienating people based on their race). A racist joke sends a message to the in-group that racism is acceptable. (If you don't find it acceptable, you're in the out-group.) This is why we're never "just joking." To the in-group, no defense of the joke is needed; the idea conveyed is accepted/acceptable. The defense of “just joking is only ever aimed at the out group. If you're willing to accept "just joking" as defense, you're willing to enter an in-group where the idea conveyed by the joke is acceptable. If "just joking" excuses racist jokes, then in-group has accepted the idea of racism as part of being in-group. This segues us into our next topic fairly smoothly. We're going to be talking about the AIDs crisis. You might be wondering how this is a smooth segue, well that's because when the AIDs epidemic first began in the 1980s, the Reagan administration treated it as a joke. Here's the first exchange between Speakes and journalist Lester Kinsolving from 1982, when nearly 1,000 people had died from AIDS: Lester Kinsolving: Does the president have any reaction to the announcement by the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta that AIDS is now an epidemic in over 600 cases? Larry Speakes: AIDS? I haven't got anything on it. Lester Kinsolving: Over a third of them have died. It's known as "gay plague." [Press pool laughter.] No, it is. It's a pretty serious thing. One in every three people that get this have died. And I wonder if the president was aware of this. Larry Speakes: I don't have it. [Press pool laughter.] Do you? Lester Kinsolving: You don't have it? Well, I'm relieved to hear that, Larry! [Press pool laughter.] Larry Speakes: Do you? Lester Kinsolving: No, I don't. Larry Speakes: You didn't answer my question. How do you know? [Press pool laughter.] Lester Kinsolving: Does the president — in other words, the White House — look on this as a great joke? Larry Speakes: No, I don't know anything about it, Lester. Because they saw the AIDs epidemic as one big joke, and because of the massive amounts of homophobia in American politics the Reagan administration did nothing about the thousands and thousands of people dying. But why, why I can hear you asking. Because AIDs, the so called “gay plague” was thought to only affect gay men. They also thought it could be spread through saliva, so there was a joke from a later press conference about the President banning kissing as a way of fighting the spread of AIDs. But I digress. AIDs was thought to only affect a specific part of the population. Gay men. A segment of the population that the Reagan administration didn't want in American society. So when they heard they were dying, instead of doing research, or raising public awareness, or even expressing compassion for the suffering of fellow humans, they did nothing and made bad, poor taste jokes, because they wanted gay men to die.  Now, many people will look at this and say that it wasn't a genocide because the deaths weren't caused by government action, but by government in action. These people are wrong. This was DELIBERATE in action, knowing and planning for that inaction to kill as many people as possible. This was, as clear as it can be, deliberately inflicting conditions calculated to bring about the physical destruction of the group, in whole or in part. Now, no one is saying that Reagan CAUSED AIDs, but he saw what it was doing and specifically did nothing to prevent any of the deaths that it caused. This, finally, brings us to the modern day and the ongoing trans genocide. We have established our historic context, we have set a historic precedent for inaction as a form of genocide. Now we can really get into it.  Remember the Pyramid of Hate that we touched on briefly earlier. Well, Level 3 is Systemic Discrimination and includes Criminal justice disparities, Inequitable school resource distribution, Housing segregation, Inequitable employment opportunities, Wage disparities, Voter restrictions and suppression, and Unequal media representation. There are, according to translegislation.com, in 2024 alone 530 anti trans laws have been placed before various state and federal legislations. I remind you that it is only April 2nd, when this episode first releases. 16 of them have passed, 87 of them have failed, and 430 are still currently active. These bills seeks to discriminate against trans people in almost all areas of life, with the 3 most prevalent categories being Education, Sports, and Healthcare. In 2024 alone 132 bills have been proposed to deny or restrict access of trans people to gender affirming care. But why is this important? Other than because healthcare is a human right that should be freely available to everyone. A new study from the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, using data from U.S Transgender Population Health Survey found that 81% of transgender adults in the U.S. have thought about suicide, 42% of transgender adults have attempted it, and 56% have engaged in non-suicidal self-injury over their lifetimes. If you are a trans individual and you need mental health services or support, please reach out to the Trevor Project at (866) 488-7386 or call the Trans Lifeline at (877) 565-8860. You're not alone, and you never will be. Now, to return to our regularly scheduled educational program. The US deliberately blocking people from accessing gender affirming care is genocide. Full stop. End of story. According to an article titled Suicide-Related Outcomes Following Gender-Affirming Treatment: A Review, by Daniel Jackson, which is a meta analysis of 23 different studies on the effect of gender affirming care on trans suicide rates, having access to gender affirming care greatly reduces the risk of suicide among trans youth and adults. So if you know that having access to these services will help keep a group of people alive, and you deliberately block access to that service, you are actively trying to kill them. This is, just as with the AIDs epidemic, deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the physical destruction of the group, in whole or in part. It is also, causing severe bodily or mental harm to members of the group, which is another way in which genocide can be committed. Florida even went so far as to pass a bill, SB 254, banning gender affirming care for minors. They call it child abuse, and will take children away from their parents if the parents try and get the GAC. This is “transferring children of the group to another group” which is a third way in which the US government is committing a trans genocide. There are two more things I want to talk about today. First is detransitioning. There are some people who transition from one gender to another and then go back. Conservative talking heads would have you believe that there is a massive majority of trans people feeling this regret and returning to the gender they were assigned at birth. As with all things, they are lying to you. The results published in the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey found that 8% of respondents reported having ever detransitioned; 62% of that group reported transitioning again and were living as a gender other than the one assigned to them at birth at the time of the survey. About 36% reported having detransitioned due to pressure from parents, 33% because it was too difficult, 31% due to discrimination, 29% due to difficulty getting a job, 26% pressure from family members, 18% pressure from a spouse, and 17% due to pressure from an employer. There will certainly be some people who will transition and then find that they don't actually identify with the gender they transitioned to, but that's a fantastically small number, and while those people deserve our empathy and support, they are not representative of the overall trans community. Also it should be noted that you don't have to medically or physically transition to be trans. Many people do this because of gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia. But surgery and/or hormones are not requirements for being trans. I'm technically trans, as I identify with a gender other than the one I was assigned at birth, but I have no intentions of taking hormones or having surgery. I'm just gonna hit the gym and get big muscles. The last thing I want to cover is the epidemic of transphobia that infects this country, and in the present day nothing exemplifies that more than the tragic death of Nex Benedict and the inattentiveness and inaction of her school in protecting her. New was a 16 year old non binary youth attending Owasso High School in Oklahoma. After a year of bullying over her gender identity Nex was attacked by 6 girls in the bathroom. They beat her into unconsciousness. Instead of calling the police or an ambulance, the school called Nex's mother Sue and told her that Nex was suspended for two weeks. Nex was examined by hospital staff, spoke with police, and then was discharged. They went to bed complaining of a sore head. The next day, when getting ready to go with their mother to Tulsa, Nex collapsed and had stopped breathing before the ambulance arrived. The Medical Examiner eventually ruled Nex's death a suicide caused by Benedryl and Prozac, stating that it had nothing to do with the beating Nex received from students at their school.  I think that's bullshit. I have nothing more to say on that other than Fuck Oklahoma and Fuck the Owasso Public School Disctict. That's it for today dear listeners. Stay angry, stay safe. Don't let the bastards get you down. Stick around for the outro. We've got some more reviews over the past week. Some of them aren't technically reviews. Spotify apparently has a Q&A feature, and defaults to “What did you think of this episode?” so I'm going to read those too. *Read Reviews* Jo, thank you so much for being here today and for providing your valuable insight and knowledge.

Who would've thought that a powerful Roman emperor could be assassinated?!

Book Club #84 - Emperor of Rome - Another live RHLSTP Book Club coming fittingly from the oldest recorded Roman City in England, Colchester. Rich and Mary discuss whether they might be on the site of Camelot, Boudicca's decision to level the place to the ground and what year it might have happened, plus the controversy over which month Pompeii met its fate. But mainly they talk about her fab book Emperor of Rome and her podcast Being Roman. Did the excesses and jokes of the Roman emperors really happen? Is Donald Trump like Elagabalus? How do we know that Augustus was called on to judge the case of the slave who killed someone with a chamber pot? Are we able to find out about the lives of ordinary Romans? And where is the earliest known depiction of the crucifixion and how would the person who drew it feel about it being discussed so many hundreds of years later?Buy the book here https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/emperor-of-rome-mary-beard/6331731Come and see RHLSTP on tour http://richardherring.com/rhlstp Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.

This week on Christories, we're talking about THE FIRST TRANS ROMAN EMPEROR!! We got the HILARIOUS Mike Cannon joining us and learning with us

(01:22) De PVV pleit al jaren voor een 'asielstop'. Daarvoor zou Nederland moeten breken met internationale verdragen en wetten die de opvang van vluchtelingen verplichten. Hoe zijn die verdragen ontstaan? Hoogleraar migratiegeschiedenis Marlou Schrover geeft uitleg. (17:10) De Romeinse keizer Elagabalus wilde volgens de overlevering als vrouw worden aangesproken. Is dit een queer icoon avant la lettre? Het Britse North Hertfordshire Museum meent van wel, en paste de bordjes aan. Is dat historisch verantwoord? Daarover historicus Martijn Icks. (29:35) De middeleeuwen: onwetenschappelijke donkere eeuwen vol brandstapels, kuisheidsgordels, zielige burgers, brave ridders en eenzame prinsessen. Mediëvisten Jonas Roelens & Nathan van Kleij zijn deze clichés zat, en stelden een bundel samen om ze te bestrijden. (42:06) Bart Funnekotter bespreekt drie historische boeken: - Fitzroy Maclean – Oostwaarts - Coen Brummer - Sam van Houten tegen de rest - Peter Hoppenbrouwers – Stormruiters Meer info: https://www.vpro.nl/programmas/ovt/luister/afleveringen/2023/03-12-2023.html# (https://www.vpro.nl/programmas/ovt/luister/afleveringen/2023/03-12-2023.html)

Kan met terugwerkende kracht een historisch figuur als queer of transgender bestempeld worden? Het North Hertfordshire Museum meent van wel. Op de tentoonstellingsbordjes van de nieuwe tentoonstelling over de Romeinse keizer Elagabalus (204-222 n.Chr.) staan namelijk vrouwelijke voornaamwoorden. Het museum zegt daarmee recht te doen aan de wens van de keizer zelf: Elagabalus zou namelijk zelf hebben gezegd liever aangesproken te worden als vrouw. Onterecht, menen historici. De bronnen, waarin Elagabalus als vrouw wordt bestempeld werden geschreven met het doel om hem zwart te maken. Oudheid-historicus aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam Martijn Icks geeft duiding.

Leven we in eeuwige tijden van korting of maken winkels ons dat wijs? Hoe misleidend is de wildgroei aan periodes als Black Friday, Cyber Monday of klassieke solden? Was de Romeinse keizer Elagabalus een trans vrouw zoals een Brits museum beweerd? Kunnen we nog gewoon van sport genieten, nu landen als Saoedi-Arabië miljarden investeren in voetbal, golf en Formule 1? En journalist Luc van Bakel heeft het over nieuws van bij ons dat als fakenews viraal gaat in Georgië en Bulgarije.

'Inclusieve politiek bestond al in de vroege negentiende eeuw, ver voordat wij het uitvonden', zegt Joris Oddens. 'Burgers dienden voor alles en nog wat verzoekschriften in bij een bepaald niet dove overheid.' Hij schreef Op veler verzoek, over de petitie-rage van vroeger. 'De roemruchte kloof zou ermee gedicht kunnen worden,' meent de historicus.Hij liet zijn gasten op scheetkussens zitten en liet na het diner soms tamme leeuwen en luipaarden op ze los. Mary Beard begint haar nieuwste boek met de slechtste Romeinse keizer ooit, Elagabalus. Hij was geen uitzondering, maar epidemisch voor hoe de keizers regeerden. 'In het Romeinse rijk heerste het theater van angst, zo maakt de auteur overtuigend duidelijk,' vertelt recensent Manon van der Heijden.'Je kunt hem zien als de Elon Musk van zijn tijd, maar hij was de Erasmus van het drukkersvak, een wijze en gematigde middenstander.' Annegreet van Bergen vertelt over de invloedrijke zestiende-eeuwse drukker en uitgever Christoffel Plantijn, en het boek dat zijn biograaf Sandra Langereis schreef: De Woordenaar.

Het gesprek met dr. Martijn Icks (Universiteit van Amsterdam) over keizer Elagabalus ging verder. De jonge keizer wordt tot op de dag van vandaag geassocieerd met bizarre taferelen, gruwelijke en wonderlijke gebeurtenissen in de vier jaar dat hij aan de macht was. Maar kunnen we stellen dat dit allemaal klopt? Of is er sprake van 'karaktermoord'? In deze bonusaflevering bespreken we het nachleben van Elagabalus.Shownotes

Met dr. Martijn Icks (Universiteit van Amsterdam) kijken we uitgebreid naar het leven en de regeerperiode van keizer Elagabalus (ook wel bekend als Heliogabalus). We volgen de tijdlijn van de moord op keizer Caracalla in het jaar 217 tot aan de moord op keizer Elagabalus in maart 222. Martijn neemt ons mee op een fascinerende reis van Emesa in het huidige Syrië naar Rome, we bespreken de beschikbare bronnen en nog veel meer.Shownotes

Thinking about the Roman Empire? If you weren't before, you are now! Friend of the podcast Dr. Kit Heyam is back to discuss the fascinating life of ancient Roman emperor Elagabalus (aka Heliogabalus). Elagabalus's reign was short, and odd, and the way it was written about (by haters) leaves many questions about their queer and trans identity.

This week, Ben talks about Elegabalus: the ancient Roman emperor who had very little interest in being an ancient Roman emperor. He did, however, have an interest in carrying out his role as a high priest, a job he enjoyed thanks to the flamboyant, lavish lifestyle and constant religious orgies.  Sources:  Elagabalus: the cross-dressing religious fanatic who became emperor of Rome - History Skills Elagabalus: The Hated Roman Emperor Who Was Killed And Mutilated! | Ancient Origins (ancient-origins.net)

Here is my research on it... The Apocryphal New Testament Authorship https://www.academia.edu/s/cbbb322c87/the-apocryphal-new-testament-authorship Was Pliny The Younger, the Roman author and friend of Emperor Trajan, and who was famous for asking Trajan what to do about Christians, also writing as St. Ignatius? Is this more evidence of the Oligarchy (1%) existing even in ancient times? Pliny The Younger As Saint Ignatius http://www.academia.edu/s/99511f2e10/pliny-the-younger-as-saint-ignatiuspdf Some of the easiest evidence regarding the Roman creation of Christianity for those who are just beginning to study the way that we do in the New Classical Scholarship is in examining the works of Pliny The Younger. Emperor Trajan & Pliny The Younger: Mutual Ancestry http://www.academia.edu/s/f6541cd384/emperor-trajan-and-pliny-the-younger-mutual-ancestry Two of my forthcoming papers are very important as evidence of the Roman creation of Christianity. One of these papers is on the subject of the fabrication of Christian persecutions by Roman emperors. This can be shown by giving the descent of all Roman emperors from Antoninus Pius onward, from Arrius Piso (or his immediate family), the main creator of Christianity. And the other paper will show the direct descent of no less than 60 popes from Arrius Calpurnius Piso. At this time, I have already posted the information giving the direct descent of at least 35 popes from Arrius Piso.

Följ med till medeltidsmetropolen Uppsala som nu avslöjar sina hemligheter i en ny utgrävning. Och träffa pojkkejsaren Elagabalus, Roms värste regent och historiens första transvestit. Under medeltiden förvandlades forntidens heliga kultplats till Upplands metropol med ärkebiskopssäte och marknad vid Fyrisåns forsar. Vetenskapsradion Historia besöker de pågående utgrävningarna på Stora torget i Uppsala som nu tecknar en ny bild av en av medeltidens mäktigaste städer. Arkeologen Joakim Kjellberg deltar i utgrävningen och är dessutom aktuell med en ny avhandling om Uppsalas medeltid och guidar runt Urban Björstadius i spåren av en förlorad värld.Dessutom uppmärksammar vi Roms värste kejsare den sexuellt utsvävade fjortisen Elagabalus som förfärade sin samtid och bara klarade ett par år på tronen innan hans avhuggna huvud kastades i Tibern. Antikvetaren Linnea Åshede tecknar bilden av Elagabalus, mest känd för att ha varit historiens förste transvestit och att ha dränkt sina gäster under ett hav av rosenblad, och menar att vi kanske inte ska tro blint på alla källor om den smutskastade kejsaren.Programledare är Tobias Svanelid.

In ancient Rome, being made Emperor could be a death sentence. Experienced generals and statesmen lasted weeks or months sometimes. In some cases, children were raised to the role. What became of them? Part 1 of our series looks at two very different kinds of child tyrant: Elagabalus and Caracalla.

Caligula, Nero, Elagabalus, Vitellius, all of these are noted debaucherous Roman Emperors. However, they pale in comparison to the original king of wicked desires, the Emperor Tiberius. In this episode we discuss the perverted and depraved acts of Tiberius and how those acts may have affected Emperors for generations after Tiberius' demise.

In this episode I will try and decipher the attitude towards the LGBT community throughout history. 

This week, the World-Weary women talk political intrigue and scandals. Cassiopeia gets to grips with the 1998 Clinton-Lewinsky scandal and explores the problematic media and cultural reaction to the affair. Violet introduces the unorthodox life of one of Ancient Rome's youngest emperors: disliked for his eccentricity and promiscuity, was Elagabalus actually an undeserved victim of historic prejudices?

Le Black loue le mal sous toute ses formes et surtout, l'obscurité spirituelle ; et pour autant, sont retenus comme valeurs la violence et l'agression de la volonté individuelle, qui doit s'affirmer en fonction de la sagesse acquise et à être acquise davantage. Cette sagesse, elle-même découle presque toujours de tragiques et douloureuses expériences de croissance imposées ou intentionnelles – ou plus exactement, dans un même instant fatal de tumulte précipité, elle nous fournit cette infernale croissance qui découle à la fois du chaos ET du choix. Le sentier du Black Métal, il est sinueux et tordu, difficile à suivre, faisant l'âme du pèlerin durement, atrocement, vilement mais nécessairement vieillir… Alors, comment étrange mais terriblement enrichissant il est de se rendre à l'antipode de cet idéal et de dévoiler une facette cachée du Culte, manifestée par une sortilégieuse musique qui ose chercher l'inverse et l'opposé de notre noire vérité. Découvrons ce que le Black Métal peut bien vouloir nous enseigner, parfois ironiquement mais toujours judicieusement, lorsque sa philosophie agrippe et hale dans l'abysse de sa caverneuse sagesse… l'enfance ! ☩ LISTE LITURGIQUE ☩ 1.

Often found high on the list of Rome's worst emperors, the short reign of the teenager Elegabalus in the early 3rd century AD is filled with controversy. But it was also a time when several remarkable women came to the fore in the Roman Empire, playing central roles in both the rise and fall of this young emperor. In this podcast late Severan Empresses expert Matilda Brown, currently studying for her PhD at Edinburgh University and old amigo of Tristan, came on the show to shine a light on these female figures: Julia Maesa, Julia Soaemias and Julia Mamaea. From a dramatic battle outside Antioch to a deadly sibling rivalry that ended in bloodshed, this was an awesome chat. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Born Varius Avitus Bassianus, the emperor now known as Elagabalus scandalized ancient Rome with his constant displays of extravagance, his numerous sexual escapades -- and his insistence that all people worship the sun god Elagabal (represented by a mysterious black stone he brought to town). Tune in to learn how everyday Romans reacted to this larger-than-life character, and how his over-the-top behaviors eventually led to his downfall.

Severus Alexander was a young boy when he came to power in Rome in 222CE, in the wake of the death of his unpopular cousin, Elagabalus. He would reign for 13 years but struggle to assert authority, bringing the once proud Severan dynasty to a chaotic ending.

CliffCentral.com — We end season two of Blind History in Ancient Rome... the place that gave us Hadrian, Augustus, Trajan and Marcus Aurelius. But this time we investigate the bad emperors - the ones who murdered, ruined, destroyed and perverted the greatest empire of antiquity. Caligula, Nero, Commodus and Elagabalus were some the most depraved men to exercise absolute power - and their lives were brutal and merciless. Brought to you by Taylor Blinds & Shutters.

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing Roman Emperor, Elagabalus, who has long been considered by historians to be one of Rome's worst and most ill-equipped emperors...EVER. His reign was plagued by religious controversy, crazy parties, and really scandalous sexual exploits. He was married to five different women all while carrying on a committed relationship with a male slave. Meanwhile, on the side, he was sleeping with more men and women that one can count! Elagabalus is also now considered to have possibly been transgender and is one of the first reported cases of a request for gender reassignment surgery. Join us as we break down this super fascinating character in Roman History! Follow Hashtag History on Instagram @hashtaghistory_podcast for all of the pictures mentioned in this episode.

The Vestals were an order of priestesses who were sacred to Rome, and were respected and referred as symbols of a safe and stable empire. They had the all-important duty of maintaining the sacred flame, and if it were extinguished, it would be a sign of impending disaster. Guest: Dr Peta Greenfield (Public Historian, co-host of 'The Partial Historians' podcast)

Elagabalus has long been remembered as deviant and sexually depraved. His behaviour was shocking for a Roman citizen, let alone the leader of the empire, and Rome was relieved to see the end of him. Guest: Dr Caillan Davenport (Senior Lecturer, Roman History, Macquarie University/Humboldt Research Fellow, Goethe University, Frankfurt)

When Elagabalus finally reached Rome, the city seemed to hold its breath. The young Emperor embraced both the roles of ruler and high priest of a foreign religion, and there were many that questioned where his priorities lie. Guest: Dr Caillan Davenport (Senior Lecturer, Roman History, Macquarie University/Humboldt Research Fellow, Goethe University, Frankfurt)

In this episode of Half-Arsed History, be shocked at the debauchery of Elagabalus, who ruled Rome as emperor during the third century with some and gained an outrageous reputation for salaciousness and promiscuity. 

Macrinus has made a treaty with the Parthians and at long last, the two mighty empires are at peace. It likely won’t last, but at this point it matters little: now he can finally get down to the business of ruling the empire. Guest: Dr Caillan Davenport (Senior Lecturer, Roman History, Macquarie University/Humboldt Research Fellow, Goethe University, Frankfurt)

You may already know about the gender-bending, sexually deviant Roman emperors Caligula, Nero, and Elagabalus, but do you know about the ill-fated Emperor Galba, who was a gruff, old-school Roman who nonetheless liked "muscular men"?

What better way to celebrate the New Year than with a new episode of History is Gay? This time, Gretchen and Leigh dive into the brief, controversial, and totally extra reign of Emperor Elagabalus of Rome. Or rather, Empress Elagabalus! Whether it be marrying multiple wives and one husband, revolutionizing the Roman religion, installing women as senators, throwing parties with sex workers, or enjoying the attention of well-endowed men, Elagabalus was as unconventional as they come. And chances are, she may very well have been a trans woman.

This week we discuss the times and crimes of allegedly transgendered Roman Emperor Elagabalus. Disclaimer - There is talk of transgenderism, genitalia, and a very very brief mention of rape. Whilst we know that the first two don't bother everyone, there are still those who would be uncomfortable with it so discretion is advised. Our Sources:https://www.makingqueerhistory.com/articles/2017/9/24/elagabalus-the-empressfascinatinghistory.blogspot.com/2005/06/emperor-elagabalus-teenage-pervert.htmlhttps://www.timeshighereducation.com/books/the-crimes-of-elagabalus-the-life-and-legacy-of-romes-decadent-boy-emperor/418066.article

In the remote Bekaa valley in Eastern Lebanon sit the ruins of the great temples of Heliopolis, some of the largest and most impressive ever built in Antiquity, three times larger than the Parthenon, which columns half again as tall as as those in Karnak. The temples are mysterious, and Scott Chesworth from The Ancient World podcast helps explain what they might be, and how they might be connected to Elagabalus, one of the most fascinating and least appreciated Roman emperors. Not good, mind, but fascinating. Elagabalus does not get the coverage of a Caligula or Nero, but maybe he should.  The teenage emperor did not kill indiscriminately, but his sexual and religious activities shocked conservative Roman society and make for excellent story-telling. Some modern writers call Elagabalus the world's first known transgender leader.  Maybe?  We'll discuss. There's also the story of how Caracalla meets his untimely demise, thanks to a prescient fortune-teller and a dislike of reading his own mail. And of course, we'll talk about Lebanon, its Phoenician heritage, and the way Lebanese food has spread around the world. The recipe of the week is kibbeh, a deep-fried croquette of goodness that is as popular in the Dominican Republic as it is in Lebanon.

In ancient Rome, being made Emperor could be a death sentence. Experienced generals and statesmen lasted weeks or months sometimes. In some cases, children were raised to the role. What became of them? Part 1 of our series looks at two very different kinds of child tyrant: Elagabalus and Caracalla. www.ancienthistoryfangirl.com https://twitter.com/AncientHistFan https://www.instagram.com/ancienthistoryfangirl/ https://www.facebook.com/AncientHistoryFangirl/

We’re taking it way back to ancient Rome, where every name is fun to say and much of the history is composed of hearsay, rumors and downright bullshit.

Synopsis:  After the death of Elagabalus, Uranius Antoninus served as High Priest of Elah Gabal in Emesa.  From this vantage, he witnessed the birth of Ardeshir’s Persia and the changing fortunes of the Palmyrenes. “Even the name of Tadmor, or Palmyra, by its signification in […] The post Episode B40 – Uranius first appeared on THE ANCIENT WORLD.

Bassianus to his mother, Antoninus to the troops (sort of), 'The Assyrian' behind his back and Elagabalus to history. This is one emperor who has made a name (or several) for himself. But who is the man (boy) behind the myth? Did he kill boys? (Probably not) Did he throw cattle at people? (maybe not) Did he invent the Whoopie Cushion? (Yes). What we do know is that the senate hated him. And they have the quills...

Synopsis:  Elagabalus spearheads a religious revolution in Rome, but his unpopular rule drives Julia Maesa to enact a back-up plan. “To this temple, as to the common center of religious worship, the Imperial fanatic attempted to remove the Ancilia, the Palladium, and all the sacred […] The post Episode B36 – The Black Stone first appeared on THE ANCIENT WORLD.

Synopsis:  Deception, good fortune, and Macrinus’ failings allow the Severans to retake the Roman throne.  As Emperor, Elagabalus makes plans to install the black stone of Elah Gabal in the Capital. “(Elagabalus and Severus Alexander) were priests of the sun god, whom their countrymen worship […] The post Episode B35 – Bassus first appeared on THE ANCIENT WORLD.

From the ingeniously ghastly ways they killed their opponents to their weird forms of dress, Mary Beard reflects on the uncanny similarities between Colonel Gaddafi and the tyrants of ancient Rome. She argues that the similarities were present in life - and in death. "On 11 March 222 AD," she writes, "a posse of rebel soldiers tracked down the Roman emperor Elagabalus to his hiding place. The tyrant was holed up in a latrine, desperately hoping to keep clear of the liberators, who were out for his blood". She continues: "The story goes that the rebels rooted him out, killed him, triumphantly dragged his body through the streets of Rome and then threw his mutilated remains into a drain." Mary suggests modern and ancient tyrant are portrayed as sharing a penchant for eccentric accommodation, like Gaddafi's tent and Nero's infamous "Golden House". And they seem to enjoy dubious hobbies - such as Emperor Domitian's obsession with stabbing flies and Gaddafi's obsessive collection of pictures of Condoleeza Rice, which were stuck in a scrapbook. But she argues that these stereotypes of tyrants are little more than half-truths and hearsay....an easy way of making a figure of fear into a figure of fun. The reality, she says, is much more nuanced. "Badness", she suggests, "comes in inconveniently complicated ways. Most bad people are good in parts". How often, she asks, are we told that life expectancy in Libya far exceeds that of its neighbours, that Libya has substantially lower child mortality than its neighbours, the highest literacy rate in North Africa, free hospitals and free childcare. "My point is not that we should see Gaddafi as a good man" she says. Rather that "among all the things that have been going terribly wrong under the Gaddafi regime, some things have been going right". Producer: Adele Armstrong.

Elagabalus became Emperor in 218 AD at the tender age of 14. His short reign was defined by a scandalous private life and an obsession with the eastern sun god El-Gabal. 

We've been getting kinda heavy with our last few Rotten lessons. This one is more lighthearted. Rotten comes in many shapes and sizes and doesn't always have to mean death and destruction. Oftentimes in can be things that are done in excess that make one forgo their responsibilities. Our topic is all about Emperor Elagabalus and how their lifestyle caused an attempt to erase them from history. I mean, would any of us be prepared to rule an empire in our teens? I would have done similar rotten things too! Support the show on Patreon!
