Virginia Woolf is a complicated person. Her history is nuanced. However, she made THE transgender novel, masterpiece, called Orlando.

Why did she make it?
Was she enamored by the idea of a trans woman?

Was she just a bisexual, a lesbian, trapped in 1928?

Or did she want to be a man, Shelmerdine?

Still from Orlando (1992)

Tilda Swinton in an early 1800's femmine dress. It is white. She is holding up a handheld mirror after she magically changed sex.

A servant looks at her with admiration.

The amount of trans women (and men, and Non-Binary people) who know not of Orlando is disappointing but i have a feeling that will change in Three years time.
