They have claimed not only Mulan but also George Sand, Joan of Arc and any other woman in history who ever did anything not completely feminine. That leaves us vulva-women with only a handful of possible role models, but then why would a submissive, passive and pink-loving gender (the new definition of womanhood in some circles) need role models?

George Sand had a couple of male lovers:

'In 1822, at the age of eighteen, Sand married Casimir Dudevant[11] (1795–1871; first name "François"), out-of-wedlock son of Baron Jean-François Dudevant. She and Dudevant had two children: Maurice (1823–1889) and Solange (1828–1899). In 1825 she had an intense but perhaps platonic affair with the young lawyer Aurélien de Sèze.[12] In early 1831, she left her husband and entered upon a four- or five-year period of "romantic rebellion." In 1835, she was legally separated from Dudevant, and took custody of their children.[13]

Sand had romantic affairs with Jules Sandeau (1831), Prosper Mérimée, Alfred de Musset (summer 1833 – March 1835), Louis-Chrysostome Michel, Pierre-François Bocage, Charles Didier, Félicien Mallefille, Louis Blanc, and composer Frédéric Chopin (1837–1847).[14]' (wikipedia)

Suuuure these men must have been all into transoids...

Didn't she also have an affair with the Countess played by Bernadette, or was that invented by the movie?
