    There’s an enduring question as to how reliable the sources are as to Elagabalus’s wishes. As such the question of whether Elagabalus was trans, or nonbinary, remains. I would regard only referring to Elagabalus as a man as inappropriate.

      We don’t have to make her fit into a contemporary gender model to respect her clearly stated wishes.

          I’d like to ask you about your sources now, but I don’t know how not to make it sound like I don’t believe you :) I just became really interested in Elagabalwhatevertheendingofthenameis and I’d love to read some more. I know nothing about Syrian history, unfortunately.
