Being intersexed myself with CAH I Take offense to you claiming that being intersexed = Cross-dressing. It should be noted that the IOC tried genetic testing to no avail. they found too many female athletes with non standard sex chromosomes that were capable of producing children. this means that though they had male genetics they had normal female genitalia and inside sexual organs. At this time only the AOC (Asians) still do testing but it is only for informal purposes and has not effected an Olympic athletes participation in any event

Pirate Mary Read lived much of her life cross dressing. She was dressed as a boy to keep money rolling in from grandma… she then served as a soldier twice in Flanders, did a stint as sea and served as a footman. Once she showed her breast before killing a man to show that he had been bested by a man.

During the Civil War in Saint Louis, the state militia ( secretly pro Confederate) camped here. The city (pro Union) was keeping a discerning eye on them as they suspected (correctly) of their confederacy leanings. So what’s a pro Confederate general to do if he needs to get out? Dress up as his visiting mother to check up on his enemies.

I’m so glad you mentioned the M. Butterfly scenario! I had to read the play (and watch it) in college, and I had a hard time believing it was based on a true story. But, alas, it was.

My favorite cross-dressing story is Billy Tipton. A woman trumpet player who posed as a man for decades, married a woman and kept her secret until her death.
