I know this has been mentioned before, but I’ve just seen a thread on Twitter by @thejeffreymarsh where he is posting images of “trans and non binary “ people from years gone by. Marlene Dietrich is on there, she apparently dated people “of many genders “ that would be both SEXES then Jeffrey ? Also many other pics of men in drag and women in vaguely masculine dress who may or may not be lesbians. As most of them are theatrical performers they are mainly costumes anyway.
The ridiculousness of this . MAKE IT STOP.... AAARGHHHHH.

It’s like Dr James Barry who was apparently also trans. More like the fact that she had a vagina prevented her from entering the medical profession. Trans my butt.

I think the Bronte sisters were all trans too. And George Eliot.

Exactly. Claiming dead people to suit your narrative is shameful. I’m waiting for them to trans living people like Annie Lennox ,Grace Jones or Marilyn.

Wtf

and sometimes shagged women (did she btw?)

Yes apparently, including Greta Garbo.

Not sure why this makes her somehow "trans or non-binary" mind.

Even if she did maybe she was bisexual. ??

You can't say somone was trans.

God, how fucking depressing. Dietrich is an icon. A woman. Piss the pissing piss off. You can't have her.

ReluctantCamper · 04/08/2018 18:45

gah

the idea that because Marlene Dietrich played with gender stereotypes and sometimes shagged women (did she btw?) she was trans

just fuck the fuck off

people can be gender non conforming while being perfectly comfortable in their own bodies and being very clear about what their sex is

Bloody hell that's depressing How have we reached a point where "real women wouldn't wear trousers" has become a progressive viewpoint to hold?
