this is super fucking common. theres so many cool people going back and re-translating "eunuchs" to be transgender people because they are described in the feminine and referred to themselves as women, it was a bunch of psycho english people that decided to call them eunuchs
uhh actually in 2014 by a tumblr user, thanks
i referred to myself as a eunuch before then
Actually eunuchs was invented at Bell Labs in 1969.
