I mentioned this in my other comment, but there’s a metric ton of evidence that Ernest Hemingway was definitely some variety of transgender.
I agree if we're going with the broad definition above. Certainly there was GENDER stuff going on with him, but it's kind of hard to pin it down more specifically than that
you should check out the rest of the article. Hemingway also had a trans daughter and regularly confided in her that they were “from the same tribe”. I’m pretty comfortable calling it as a trans person, but everyone is going to draw their own conclusion.
Hemingway would have invented the best microlabels
seriously. we were robbed of having a chaotic genderflux enby Hemingway
I'll also admit I'm a bit iffy on definitively on ascribing gender or sexuality to historical figures generally. One one hand, it's important to assert that queer people have always existed especially in the face of people who claim that queerness is an an invention of the modern woke left or whatever. On the other hand, I do follow Foucault (big surprise!) in thinking that there is a modern concept of gender and sexuality that is not necessarily equivalent to how historical peoples would have understood themselves.
I think there's an argument to be made for maximalism in making these determinations, as in the definition I quoted previously, but I personally remain a bit uncomfortable with making those determinations
Did they regularly confide? I didn't get deep into it but reading the Wikipedia page it seems like their relationship was strained to put it mildly.
