idk if i've mentioned this story idea i had but i'd love to write about a man who refuses to go to war in ww1, gets out of it by disguising himself as a woman and joins the suffragette movement

#personal crap #idk if there's any historical antecent to it but there wasn't a transmasc soldier in marie antoinette's royal guard #and that still turned out to be pretty cool #also just in general those kinds of historical stories are always obsessed with transmasc characters #and often they have this weirdly misogynistic 'woe is me why did i have to be a weak woman instead of a strong man?' crap #it'd be great to do a reversal of that #update months later: i have a name for this! I'm calling it suffragette city
