It is that time of year again, time to make stuff up and call it trans history!

Stonewall are starting us with the absurd fact that Joan of Arc lived and died over three thousands years ago

Joan of arc wore mens clothes? I always assumed her armour was pink, I feel so silly now.

I wore trousers yesterday. And not a tiny hint of pink anywhere. Clearly I was in man mode. Nothing to do with them being appropriate for my plans.
