Transgenders Have Been Around A Long Time

Archaeologists have discovered a 5,000-year-old skeleton which they believe may be the remains of a transgender person.

Men’s bodies from that age and culture are usually found buried with their heads towards the west and with weapons. 

But this skeleton was found with its head towards the east and was surrounded by domestic jugs – as women’s bodies from the time are usually found. 

At a press conference in Prague yesterday, archaeologists theorised that the person may have been transgender or ‘third sex’. 

Kamila Remišová, the head of the research team, said: “From history and ethnology, we know that when a culture had strict burial rules they never made mistakes with these sort of things.”

The article also states that:

This is not the first time a skeleton has been found buried as a member of the opposite sex. One woman from the Mesolithic period, who was assumed to be a warrior, was found buried with weapons.
