This is very upsetting. They're literally erasing gender nonconforming women from history.

If I'd had the misfortune to have been born female in that era, I would have disguised myself as a man and headed west, too.

Honestly, I think I would have too. I hate wearing dresses with a passion and I would have loved to have been a blacksmith or something. I am honestly suprised they didn't say Annie Oakley and Calamity Jane were trans in tht article eyeroll

Give it time. An afternoon to research a few random names on important women in history within Google and I'm sure a spreadsheet will be established.

Oh with the way they are going, i wouldn't be surprised if Marie Curie and Grace Hopper were obviously really non binary!
