It's nicer when we think we know something.
From Little Big Man, 1970:
Silas T. Meriweather: He gave you a vision of moral order in the universe, and there isn't any.
Those stars twinkle in a void, dear boy, and the two-legged creature schemes and dreams beneath them, all in vain. ALL in vain, Jack.
Two-legged creature will believe anything. And the more preposterous the better.
Whales speak French at the bottom of the sea. The horses of Arabia have silver wings.

Little big man, Western : Myth...
My first experience of Trans folk in media. Worked for me. I understood at an early age that people could be husbands or wives -- no matter their assigned gender. And yes, when I was in kindgergarten, I was the "husband" to two wives -- one female and one male.

#LittleBigMan with #DustinHoffman and #ChiefDanGeorge. It reinforced my intuitive beliefs (at a very young age) of how #Colonialism affected #NativeAmericans, and also the existence of #Hemaneh. So powerful!

I've been living on #Wabanaki land for many years now, and ever since I moved here, I've been championing and advocating for the #WabanakiConfederacy . Before that, I lived on #Wampanoag land and participated in the #DayOfMourning protests / ceremonies, and before that, I spent my childhood in #Pentucket territory, getting to know all the plants and animals that lived in the woods and wetlands there -- wondering about the people who lived there before (they were wiped out). My first awareness of the true story between "Cowboys and Indians" was the movie #LittleBigMan with Dustin Hoffman and #ChiefDanGeorge of the #Salish. The depictions of #genocide made me cry, and ever since then, I knew why I always sided with the "Indians" -- and knew there was more to the story of #Thanksgiving and the Wild West -- it was all about #colonialism, #ManifestDestiny, and expansion into #NativeAmericans' homeland!

The 1970 movie "Little Big Man" had a HUGE influence on 10-11 year old me (I saw it on TV in the mid-70's). It confirmed my belief that the "cowboys" were the bad guys, and the "Indians" were the good guys. And I saw a bit of myself in "Little Horse," having considered myself a husband (I'm AFAB) to two "wives" -- one who was AMAB -- at a very young age (I identify as Bi and NB/gender fluid now). I understood immediately who Little Horse was and she/they was my favorite character!
An Indigenous perspective on “Disclosure: Trans lives on screen”
The media’s influence on trans identity may be stronger than you realize.

"In the classic 1970 film 'Little Big Man' starring Dustin Hoffman, Little Horse, portrayed by Native actor #RobertLittleStar, is a #TwoSpirit/#trans character whom the #Cheyenne in their language call a #Hemaneh.
"While the film is a brilliant roller coaster of humor and intense drama, Little Horse is oft remembered for nothing more than the former, playing the role of comedic relief. As a Northern Cheyenne myself, I’ve admittedly quoted their line as a jest pickup line to (mostly) other Natives familiar with the film: 'You look tired, Little Big Man. Would you like to come in my tipi and rest on soft furs?'
"The real story behind Two Spirit people is that they were highly respected amongst most Native tribes until #colonial beliefs and the values of so-called western civilization, brought from the other side of the world, made them an abomination. Hemaneh were essential to Cheyenne culture: the go-between persons for courtships, respected physicians and healers, hard workers who led by example, empathetic counselors known for nuanced and complex thinking, and carefully listened to, well-spoken leaders amongst the tribes."

Josh Hawley is taking a beating, and he can't fun fast enough to escape it, it seems. As Ursula Perano reports, online reviews of his not-yet-published book on "manhood" are unsparing and scathing. A sample:
"In a one-star review that is labeled as 'hidden because of spoilers,' the writer said the book is 'filled with misogyny' and 'about latent homosexuality and self loathing.'”
