Replying to mint #wimint you kinda had to be a social outlier or crazy to do it in the past
Another part of the issue is that if we're looking in a historical sense, a lot of this simply isn't documented, then becomes conflated in second-hand writings about something/someone, e.g. Ranmaru Mori is widely believed to have had a sexual relationship with Oda Nobunaga, but in 16th century Japan, they didn't exactly keep records of men living actually as women, but Ranmaru is still often portrayed as trans these days.
