Join host, RJ Quirk (they/them) and guest, Holly Heberlein (she/her), as they travel back nearly two millennia to honor one of the earliest recorded transgender women in history: Elagabalus, the Roman empress who ascended to power as a teenager and defied the gender norms of her time.
Together, we unpack the imperial archives, historical biases, and the transphobia that has colored how she’s remembered. Was Elagabalus a scandalous eccentric — or a misunderstood trans woman whose legacy has been distorted through a cis-het lens? Join us as we reclaim her story and reflect on what it means to honor TRANcestors whose lives echo through history in defiance, desire, and transformation.
