Let’s be real and put fantasy aside for a second, there was no “culture” for this.

I’m not sure how people make such confident pronouncements about the 10th century (a great many things will have happened that long ago without any surviving historical record), but there is some evidence of negative attitudes towards gender-nonconforming people at the time that are depressingly similar to those you’ll find on certain internet fora today: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A6ddel_and_b%C3%A6dling

Oh my, you're easily triggered into parading your ignorance and intolerance. You should see a therapist about all that.

That’s a lot of extreme words for my simple comment. Lots of projection in your reply, such senseless and “triggered” commentary is actually the sort of thing a therapist could help you with.
