Loved every moment of this. Most of the dirtbags you cover would make excellent subjects for an HBO limited series, but Julie's show feels beyond overdue!!

Dr James Barry was a trans man who was Inspector General in the British Army, and who was once caught buggering his boyfriend. He also lived to seventy-five! He was kind of a dick, but I'd love you to include him - every other time people write about him, they misgender him.
La Chevalière d’Eon, trans lady spy icon who blackmailed the King and won, lived to be like 82 or so

Vernon Lee, notable historic queer weirdo, lived to be 78, if that helps!
This was thoroughly enjoyable! Cheers to misbehaving bisexual ladies!

This was extremely entertaining. Thank you for being you! I will go find one of your books now!
Welp. I think I found my NaNoWriMo novel for this year. Also she's everything to me right now.
‘Bisexual stabby opera dirtbag’ is surely a title to aspire to! Another great read - they do a lot to fulfil my personal happy quota. Thank you.
