Chevalière d’Eon de Beaumont

I will be adding more about d'Eon here soon. I have written several articles about her that I'm going to find and add to this collection. For not, I'll just say that she is AWESOME. She was a spy and diplomat that lived as a man for 49 years of her life. She was raised as a man, spent her entire life as a man. And then at 49 she was like "Hey, I'm a woman." and then spent the rest of her life as a woman. When she died, according to some sources, the coroner report said she had full breasts and a penis. I have not verified the coroner report, so I don't fully trust this, but if true, this would support the probability that she was intersex.
