  “Bonomi concluded that Lord Cornbury’s crossdressing was likely invented by his political enemies as character assassination.”

      Sometimes it’s a “Sappho and her friend” situation, but it sounds like this guy was just a straight crook.

    And…?

    My point was that the Founders would have been familiar with the idea of transgender. Also, most of them had studied the Classics, and would have known about Sappho and the initiation rituals of the Spartan warriors.

    Homosexualism* wasn’t invented in the 20th Century.

    *I can’t find the video, but I once heard William F. Buckley use that word and it’s lived in my head ever since.

  You immediately assumed they held a position opposite of yours for no reason and then speak condescendingly to them, why? Maybe they think the founding fathers would be horrified by the same things you are horrified by.

    Funny thing. I happen to own an electronic device that allows me to search a thing called ‘the world wide webbing.’

    Using my advanced OKJeeves search engine, I learned something about Ms. Crawford.

    One thing I learned about Ms. Crawford is that they don’t think we should respect other people’s preferred personal pronouns, so to honor that I’ll refer to them as ‘Ms.’

      More condescending commentary… ok?

      Who is this person, and why do I care about them? And if they’re so important, and you’re so clever, why can’t you keep their name consistent in your own comment?

        why can’t you keep their name consistent in your own comment?

        You seem confused. I referred to Ms. Crawford twice, and both times as ‘Ms. Crawford.’

        Also, your edit is as confusing a jumble as I’ve ever read. I have no idea what you’re unhappy about.

        Finally, I didn’t ‘assume’ anything. I’ve run across Ms. Crawford’s comments in the past, and happened to remember the name. I guess I overestimated you; I should have added an ‘/s’ but I thought the using the terms ‘worldwidewebbing’ and ’OKJeeves’ would convey my sarcastic intent.

  Of what?

  There was a transgender Royal Governor of New York State.

  This may come as a shock to you, but the existence of trans people is not the only significant change that has happened here since the 1700s.
