Le Chevalier D'Eon

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Lia de Beaumont, Mademoiselle d'Éon, a French-born aristocrat, became the subject of a huge wager in London in 1776, printed in the Westminster Gazette:

This gentleman declares the d'Eon (alias the Chevalier d'Eon) a WOMAN in the clearest sense of the word; this declaration he supports with a bet of any such sum of money from one to five thousand guineas, or he proposes to any one, who will deposit five thousand guineas in the hand of his banker, to pay £10,000 if d'Eon proves herself either a MAN and HERMAPHRODITE or any other animal other than a WOMAN.

"S'ennuyant d'être la victime du monde et de la vanité,

cette incomparable beauté,

quitta par un effort sublime,

tous les biens que la terre estime,

pour acquérir l'éternité."

Lia de Beaumont died at her home in London aged 81 and a medical examination revealed 'male genitals in every respect perfectly formed, breasts remarkably full, and unusual roundness in the formation of limbs'.

I find it hilarious is when they say her alias was Madame de Beaumont because that’s just her name. Her full family name was d’Eon de Beaumont. This was also public information!

Honestly people trying to argue d’Eon was a cis man who only dressed as a woman as a disguise while working as a spy are so wrong it’s almost funny. She publicly transitioned! Everyone knew who she was. It’s not a good secret identity if it’s in all the papers.

The Chevalier d'Éon (1728-1810) was raised in France as the male heir to the Beaumont family. The decorated soldier dressed as a man to serve as a captain of Dragoons, and as a woman named Lia de Beaumont to spy for France on Russia and England. A master fencer, the Chevalier is shown here on the right in a celebrated match against Chevalier de St Georges. This was painted by Alexandre-Auguste Robineau c.1787.
