Honestly genuinely surprised that more people on Tumblr don't talk about the Chevalier d'Eon, and I can only assume that it's because most people don't know. Please note that in the article they use they/them for d'Eon, and I suspect that's partially because modern terminology wasn't available back then, and it's unclear if d'Eon was a trans woman or gender fluid, and partially because it keeps the article consistent through time

Lia de Beaumont, Mademoiselle d'Éon, a French-born aristocrat, became the subject of a huge wager in London in 1776, printed in the Westminster Gazette:
This gentleman declares the d'Eon (alias the Chevalier d'Eon) a WOMAN in the clearest sense of the word; this declaration he supports with a bet of any such sum of money from one to five thousand guineas, or he proposes to any one, who will deposit five thousand guineas in the hand of his banker, to pay £10,000 if d'Eon proves herself either a MAN and HERMAPHRODITE or any other animal other than a WOMAN.
