https:\/\/www.spiked-online.com\/2026\/04\/07\/the-rampant-misogyny-of-transing-elizabeth-i\/<\/a><\/p>Famous women are rare in history. They are generally there because they dared to do what was not expected of them \u2013 sometimes on pain of death. Yet somehow, it\u2019s now \u2018progressive\u2019 to cancel them out by posthumously changing their sex. It\u2019s especially idiotic in the case of Elizabeth I, who if she had really been born male (and let\u2019s remember that royal births have been witnessed by the courtiers and politicians of the day, a practice which only ended in 1948, prior to the birth of Prince Charles) would not have seen her mother executed, when Elizabeth was still a child. Her father married and murdered multiple times because he couldn\u2019t get a male heir. It\u2019s telling that those who scream most loudly about having their feelings hurt when they\u2019re called Martha instead of Arthur don\u2019t mind trampling all over the graves of women killed by the savage misogyny of the age. Their lack of respect for the dead reminds one of the way rape and murder victims once had their reputations trashed by authorities defending violent males.<\/p>","url":"https:\/\/spinster.xyz\/objects\/72eca193-4b82-4e7a-ae7f-bf67494869df","status_net":{"notice_id":null}},"to":[{"objectType":"http:\/\/activitystrea.ms\/schema\/1.0\/collection","id":"http:\/\/activityschema.org\/collection\/public"}],"status_net":{"conversation":"tag:gnusocial.jp,2026-04-07:objectType=thread:nonce=21c2e5c33bbd07fe","notice_info":{"local_id":"12416427","source":"ActivityPub"}},"published":"2026-04-07T20:23:02+00:00","provider":{"objectType":"service","displayName":"GNU social JP","url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/"},"verb":"post","url":"https:\/\/spinster.xyz\/objects\/72eca193-4b82-4e7a-ae7f-bf67494869df"}],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/conversation\/6303141","rel":"alternate","type":"text\/html"}]}
