Like a couple weeks ago I did some *very *cursory research and:
spoiler
It's certainly an interesting and divisive topic! Of course etymology is an interesting aspect, but as words get used more and more the original connotation can change.
Another thing about "galli" is that it's a masculine noun, so it's already insulting on its own. There's at least one attestation of a feminine version, the Greek "gallai", but no one in academia is using it outside of its original source. A real pity.
Interesting 🥲 What's the original source?
The specific source I'm talking about is incredibly obscure: It's a possible fragment of Callimachus preserved by some grammarian talking about galliambic verse, an ancient meter related to the gallae. Here's an online version; it really doesn't say much. But better known is Catullus 63, a poem in galliambic verse about Attis, the consort of Cybele, and the gallae. (And it really does write "gallae", which I totally forgot about!) If you can stand some literally ancient transphobia, it's a nice read. There's also some interesting playing with grammatical gender in the Latin, even if it's all ultimately written from a reactionary position. It's a testament to transfemininity in Ancient Rome in any case.
Thank you for sharing!
So many words for het transfems, so few for gay transfems
Cisheterosexuality is a regime. It makes a sort of twisted sense.
