From time to time, I've tried to trace the evolution of the trans movement, and found that while it's been around in leftist culture since even the 70s, it was extremely obscure till recently. Julia Serano's essay in the 2007 book "Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World Without Rape" could be seen as representing the earliest moment of the sjw intersectional movement we know today, but still it remained incredibly obscure until Tumblr started gaining attention in 2011.
This is why I was surprised when I was, for other reasons, reviewing the Zathlazip 2008 SA post. Zathlazip was an SA member who went to the feminist sci-fi convention Wiscon and posted pictures of its horrors to SA. It's messing with my head that she mentions trannies in the title and in the post because I could have sworn there was no such mention in the past. Maybe I just mentally brushed it off at the time because "trannies, lol", but inserting trans people into the past where they didn't exist is totally the kind of thing that could happen these days. The entire article seems suspiciously anachronistic, since it matches the culture war since 2011 so closely.
Edit: In case it isn't clear, I'm suggesting that the archived page of the 2008 Zathlazip post has been deliberately rewritten to match the culture war zeitgeist of ~2013, and specifically to add trans people to the story. I swear I don't remember trans people being mentioned in that post before.
Edit edit: Well, nevermind. The SJW web at the time freaked out about this and those posts seem to confirm that trans people were part of the drama.
