Today is Casimir Pulaski day! I'm not very interested in in military history and historical figures (sorry [personal profile] cmcmck; it's just not my area of interest), but Pulaski in particular is really interesting to me because he was likely intersex. Given the privacy that surrounds matters of sex and gender, it's a rare thing to have such strong evidence about a historical figure's non-binary sex. It makes a real difference for people in the modern age to know that intersex folks have been around through all of history.

It's not for everyone I admit and a lot of people still boggle at the thought of a woman doing it!
