Of course this poor woman wondered what must be wrong with her - but no where did she describe unhappiness with her womanhood. The concept of “trans” didn’t even exist. And these people pushing their agenda on the tragic stories of homosexual woman in historical times is ignorant and narssisistic at best, and blatant homophobia and despicable erasure at worst. Lesphobia honestly makes me really sad. What we fight for is not your trans aesthetic. Also, living in a time where the only romantic affection is seen between a man and a woman, it would definitely make a lesbian think she has a man’s soul. It’s really not that hard to understand that guys. So many historical or even recently gay people thought like that. I’ve seen people saying historical women who disguised themselves as men to get a job or be with a female partner are trans. This is such ignorance and blatant disregard of the misogyny women had to suffer. If you were a lesbian or a woman wanting to have a man’s job in that time period you would dress as a man as well just to keep yourself safe and not get killed. -- source link
