      I don't know. I don't mind this. I didn't even know some of the authors were women when I was younger. I like the idea of more people being introduced to the stories that they authored as well as the stories of their own lives as women.

      I’ve thinking about this. I am getting a lot of responses on this one. (A lot of quote tweets so it’s hard to search). About half love it & half hate it. A lot of people think this is attack on trans people 🙄.pic.twitter.com/WjEVsoyJpA

      I think for the majority of the women, they chose pseudonyms because of the prevailing attitudes towards women at that time. That's why I don't mind this re-release. I think many would have liked to have been recognized as the brilliant women they were.https://mashable.com/2015/03/01/female-authors-pen-names/ …

      Were any of them trans? Maybe. But, I find it much more likely that several were stereotype breaking lesbians who bristled at the expectations placed upon them by society.

      Look the very fact that we even have this list of pseudonyms recorded at all means that everyone on this list was outed at some point in history Meaning the pretense was moot and they *were* revealed as women whether they liked it or not

      Which means if they actually wanted to, they could've called for their work to be republished under their legal name, but they didn't Again, that's why they're on this list, as opposed to someone like Charlotte Bronte who embraced being outed

      This isn't necessarily about "trans" or "not trans" If someone pretty clearly did have a choice what name to use, the respectful thing to do is to honor that choice, and deliberately ignoring that choice is always ugly and disrespectful

      Was George Eliot trans? I dunno, probably not Was George Eliot reluctant to give up her pen name because of internalized misogyny? Almost certainly -- see her astonishingly vicious essay about "Silly Novels by Lady Novelists"https://www.literaryladiesguide.com/literary-musings/silly-novels-lady-novelists-george-eliot-1856/ …

      But the fact that she picked her name for reasons that we'd probably judge as ignoble doesn't mean that it wasn't her choice and doesn't give you the right to trample that choice

      Disagree with her staying "George Eliot" for 20 years after she was outed, call her a traitor to women, fine, but don't rename her against her will
