18thcenturylove:ornamentedbeing:Charles-Geneviève-Louis-Auguste-André-Timothée d’Éon de Beaumont (5 October 1728 – 21 May 1810), usually known as the Chevalier d’Éon, was a French diplomat, spy, soldier and Freemason who lived the first half of his life as a man and the second half as a woman.When Casanova heard about this man, he couldn’t believe he was a “he.” He thought the King of France, Louis XV would never have a transvestite work for him and was convinced D’eon had to be a woman. XD“For the King alone knew and had always known that the chevalier was a woman, and all the long discussions which the false chevalier had with the office for foreign affairs was a comedy which the King allowed to go on, only because it amused him.”My poor Casanova, your “lady radar” seems to be malfunctioning. -- source link
