Here's something I bet they never taught you in school.

Louisa May #Alcott, the author of #Little #Women, the seminal text about girlhood, was a #trans man. Let's examine the evidence.

- Went by the name Lou
- wrote "I am more than half-persuaded that I am, by some freak of nature, a man’s soul put into a woman’s body.”
- referred to himself as a "gentleman"
- kids called him "papa"
- when he went to serve in the war as a nurse, his dad said he felt "like he was losing his only son".
