Send us a messageWelcome back to Let's Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, your go to LGBT Australian podcast for all things queer.In this episode, we dive into a fascinating and often forgotten part of queer history: female husbands of the 18th and 19th centuries. These were people assigned female at birth who lived as men, married women, and built lives that challenged the rigid gender norms of their time.We explore real historical cases, what the term “female husband” meant in its historical context, and how these stories connect to modern conversations about gender identity, trans history, and queer survival. And what can their lives teach us about how gender has always been more complex than society admits?This episode unpacks:What “female husbands” were in historical recordsHow people navigated gender and identity before modern labelsThe risks and consequences they facedHow queer and trans history has been recorded (and erased)Why these stories still matter todayIf you love queer history, transgender history, and LGBTQIA+ stories that challenge what we think we know about the past, this episode is for you.Because queer history didn’t start recently, it’s always been here.🎧 Listen in and find out more about the female husbands... and until next time, stay perfectly queer!Support the showPatreon: If you love what we would do and would like to support the show it is only $1.13 Aud a month to help keep this podcast going.
