This reminds me of Cavalier d’Éon who lived half of her life as a man and half as a woman and was a spy and master sword fighter in the 1700’s

I love and respect all of my trans sisters and brothers, but I have to admit that I am as uncomfortable with ascribing the transgender label to long-dead historical figures as I am uncomfortable, being on the autism spectrum, with claims that people like Einstein were autistic.
It just seems to easy to retrospectively look at a person who can no longer speak for herself or himself and assign a label post-mortem, in order to further our own political goals. It is distasteful when there are so many still-living transgender heroes that we can laud.

We’ve been told we have to assume every historical or literary figure was straight and cis unless explicitly told otherwise for a long time, and I think it’s fair to have a period of scholarship where we are allowed to decide everyone is queer.
