So, I just spotted a post on Tumblr about Alexandr Andreevich Alexandrov (Nadezhda Durova) and remembered that I had made the mistake of misgendering the man in the above post.
Of course, it wasn’t done maliciously, but I do need to acknowledge that mistake. I’m not perfect.
I’m a Russian and my country is extra dismissive and/or oblivious about queer people in the present, let alone in history, so Alexandrov’s story for us is presented more like a Russian Mulan than a trans man, even though clearly Alexandrov lived under his male identity and went by male pronouns.
I’m truly sorry for this mistake and I’m going to correct the tidbit mentioning Alexandrov to reflect his actual pronouns.
P. S. I also referred to Chevaliére d’Éon with he/him pronouns in my Banner of the Maid review, even though she went by Genevieve and used she/her pronouns during the later years of her life.
However, I did that because I was referring to the d’Éon in the game, who is portrayed as a man, not to the real chevaliére. Hopefully that clarifies things.
