5,000 years old homosexual. Pretty nice achievement for homosexuality, don't you think? But what's this, o nagging voice? That homosexuality is a social concept from the 1750s*? Nonsense, these are archaeologists, they know everything about homosexuality, so if they say so, then he must have been. Why are you bringing my attention to the Czech article? That the archaeologists speak of transsexuals, not transvestites? And that neither implies a transvestite a transsexual, nor a transsexual a homosexual? What madness you speak of, o voice? Just looking at the words makes it clear---a <trans>vestite is but a <trans>sexual wearing a vest, a trans<sexual> transcends the boundaries of the homo genus to look for the homo<sexual> elsewhere in nature. O voices in my head, why must you plague me with facts and reason? Why do you carry memories of my studies? What is this? A berdache, you say? A two-spirit? A biologically male entity serving the role of the socially feminine, and a biologically female entity serving the role of the socially male? What circumstances could have led me to remember such nonsense? Everyone knows that there is only the male, corresponding with the masculine, and the female, corresponding with the feminine. Wherever did you pull these words from, o silly voices? My Native American Studies class, you say? And that two-spirits are well-documented in academic literature? What fools these mortals be.

Ladies and gentlemen (and nothing in-between, since everyone here knows such a thing is impossible), please excuse my voices. I gave them voice once and they've been vocal ever since, trying to force me to look at things with their rationality and reason.

P.S.: Not to speak against Daily Fail, but in the Czech article, the archaeologists merely considered the possibility of the guy being a shaman less likely. They didn't outright reject it.

P.P.S.: Just in case (and since one can never be sure one won't be misinterpreted on the Internet), the above text was partly humorous. It was in no way intended as a denigration of anyone whose sexuality or sex--gender relation is outside the antiquated Western notion of binary sex and binary gender. I personally applaud everyone who rejects these notions (and yes, that does include me, since I have no other achievements to speak of), as every such person helps make the world a better place, and sincerely hope for the many people on this site and elsewhere that medical and biological advancements progress fast enough to make your lives be lived the way you want them, not the way nature imposed on you.
