Talk:Chevalier d'Eon/@comment-30302124-20190227173902/@comment-26441403-20190512091208

d'Eon lived as a man for 49 years and was always know to have androgynous characteristics. Then for the rest of his life lived as a woman.It was a common thing among people to speculate if d'Eon was a man or a woman, saying that was a woman disguised as a man. After many circumstances, d'Eon was basically forced to admit that he was a woman created as a man. Only in death it was revealed that "the Chavelier had male organs in every respect perfectly formed, while at the same time displaying feminine characteristics. A couple of characteristics described in the certificate were "unusual roundness in the formation of limbs," as well as "breast remarkably full." This information suggest D'Éon might have been intersex.

I personally refer to d'Eon as she.

I recommend you to read the entire story, such a sad ending for a noble person.
