Across time and culture, humanity has divided roles and responsibilities by gender. While today - in the Western world at least - these roles are not so rigid, in times past they were unassailable.
Even so, for some, practical considerations or personal aspirations meant that they had to abandon the role that their chromosomes dictated and take on the identity of the opposite sex.

Please be respectful to the transgender community and remember that many of these people could have been trans. This, for many, was not a masquerade or a disguise, but who they were, regardless of the sex assigned to them at birth.
