Tbh while I do think the closeted trans girl Roman interpretation makes a lot of sense and I support it I'm just not really committed to it, like it's more of a fun option to me than how I actually see canon

I could have my GA rn if it wasn't for the fucking Romans! Why can't it be the 1st already, Romans have caused most of the things that plague my daily life. Why is it the 31st 😣

ok the thing abt roman and betty is that like, they’re both so perpetually girlish to the point of like, dysfunction in the capitalist context i.e., they can’t produce properly-- they’re useless and measure their worth by desirability and social status. like, mad men obviously doesn’t have the same thing with the body that succession does and like, a whole part of betty is her being a failmom but, it’s that she is a failure as a mother that shows her to be a failure as a woman (adult) within her assigned social script. roman is a failure as a woman by virtue of not being a cis woman and by being girlish, on top of being a failure as a man. like, there’s not really any scenario within their respective contexts where they can truly “win.”

The annoying thing about coming out as a roman trans woman is that I have to rename both my sisters.
See, my dad is named Bill. And I'm the oldest of his children. Since I'm AMAB, I would have been given two names, maybe three (praenomen, nomen, and cognomen).
But when my sister was born, she'd not get a name. She'd just be named the female version of her father's name: Bill is from William, which was Gulielmus. So... She's Gulielma.
But then my younger sister is born! We can't call her Gulielma too, right?
YES WE CAN. She's now Gulielma Minor, and the older sister is Gulielma Maior (That would be "major", but Latin doesn't have a "j").
BUT THEN I COME OUT AS TRANS.
I'm now the Oldest Daughter of Bill! So now I'm Gulielma Maior, not the older of my two sisters! She's renamed to Gulielma Minor.
And my youngest sister? She's now Gulielma Tertia: Billy's girl #3.
This is a mess. Clearly the ancient romans were transphobic with their naming schemes.
To clarify the name changing:
Me (unknown two names, like Publius Balonius) -> Gulielma Maior
Gulielma Maior (The older of my two younger sisters) -> Gulielma Minor
Gulielma Minor (the younger of my two younger sisters) -> Gulielma Tertia
