    Christian feminine divinity is usually associated with the Virgin Mary. One of the minor leaders in the Haitian Revolution lead a religious cult by claiming to be speaking for the Virgin Mary. This person was a man who affected a female persona - I don't know what the correct way to express this is without being anachronistic: they would plausibly have been trans nowadays, but that wasn't a concept in French/Creole culture at the time.
