وكانت بالمدينة إمرأة ماجنة يقال لها سلّامة الخضراء فأُخذت مع مخنّثٍ وهي تنيكه بكيرِنْج فرُفعت إلى الوالي فأوجعها ضرباً وطاف بها على جمل فنظر إليها رجل يعرفها فقال ما هذا يا سلامة فقالت بالله أسكت ما في الدنيا أظلم من الرجال أنتم تنيكونا الدهر كله فلما نكنا كم مرة واحدة قتلتمونا

رسائل الجاحظ الرسالة الثالثة عشرة كتاب مفاخرة الجواري والغلمان

In Medina there was a sassy woman called Sallama the Green, and she was caught with an effeminate man while she was fucking him [tanikuhu] with a dildo. This was referred to the governor, who made her suffer a beating and paraded her around on top of a camel. And a certain man who knew her saw her and said: What is this, Sallama?! She said: I swear by Allah I’m not saying anything. There is nothing in the world more unjust than men; you fuck us all the time, and when we fuck even just once you kill us.
