K (189?–?) Soviet pioneer.
From Kazan, Tartarstan, USSR, K was diagnosed as a ‘transvestite’ in 1937.
She was given permission by the People’s Court to wear female clothing, her identity papers were changed to her female name, and her name was removed from the military recruitment rolls.
She was featured in a 1957 gynaecology textbook.

well i think my professor is homophobic because he seems to have taken a huge issue with my queer analysis of bisclavret since this cishet man claims there is no possible way bisclavret's lycanthropy could be a queer allegory and yet when i look up "queer bisclavret" in a search engine multiple articles support this and go in such depth about it but whatever i don't know how to dispute his unprofessional feedback on my short essay when i'm anxious about escalation so fuck me i guess
anyways read Queer Bodies, Sexual Possibility, and Violent Misogyny in Bisclavret by Emily McLemore because it is the best analysis of bisclavret that i've read and she's right
Cis people won't think someone is trans no matter what unless someone explicitly uses those words apparently. They could talk about how all your life you have wanted to be a different gender than your agab, etc, and cis people somehow don't think that said person is trans.
