Hey folks, can anyone recommend some awesome queer authors or historical figures?

Bonus points if they're trans and ofc it'd be best if they're not a :LIB: ; big fan of Leslie Feinberg for example

    Frederick II of Prussia aka Frederick the Great was almost definitely gay. Which makes it funnier that the nazis totally glorified him as some kind of masculine ideal and a great military leader. Turns out they were idiots and/or historical revisionists - who could have predicted that? Edit: him being a good military leader wasn't revisionist nor his masculine inclinations, I just mean they ignored all the rest in their quest to emphasize those 2 things.
