Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women, may have been transgender, a New York Times (NYT) article claimed, drawing criticism from a political strategist who called it “historical vandalism.”

Titled “Did the Mother of Young Adult Literature Identify as a Man,” the NYT piece claims the famous author may have been non-binary or transgender.

Peyton Thomas, the author of the story, identifies as transgender and claims Alcott might also have even been transgender.

And Richard Nixon walked around in a bunny suit... These people are insane.

Peyton Thomas, the author of the story is batshit crazy and should be tarred and feathered and thrown in the Hudson.

Alcott wasn’t transgender or even identify as transgender because, quite simply, those things didn’t exist. You might as well speculate as to which house of Hogwarts she would identify with, or if she was going to choose and iPhone over an Android device.

They played this stupid game with Lincoln as well, saying he was gay because he shared a bed with a man (because beds were meant for sleeping back then and you didn’t always get your own if you were of meager means) People back then had real life problems (and precious little in the forms of modern ideas of bathing and grooming), those things just weren’t things. They’re arguably not even things now.

What’s scary is that their insanity is presented as normal and proper by major corporations.

And Moby Dick was really a transgender female whale and Captain Ahab, a WHITE man, was trying to kill “zim” because of transphobia. That’s not a lie man.

Author of Little Women have been a virgin birth, or an alien life form or SuperWoman in disguise. MAY HAVE BEEN.

We have had TransGender for too long. It is OLD. Boring.

I want to see an InfinityGender.

(Not really ‘see’ one(or many) but hear about they/them.)

OK, so all New England spinsters were secretly transgender? Who knew?

There were an awful lot of them because of the Civil War. Nathaniel Hawthorne's wife barely escaped being a spinster (she was an invalid of the put-upon sort, but marriage cured her) but her sister Elizabeth Peabody never married. She was a strong-minded woman, very active in education, abolition, women's rights, etc. Suppose she's next to be slandered.

Louisa was unconventional (she once told an interviewer that she thought she was a man's soul in a woman's body). In context, she was talking about her early upbringing (her father Bronson was a reformer and a bit (ok, a lot) impractical) that forced her both to work and think like a man to support the family (since Bronson never had two cents to rub together and couldn't have kept it if he had)

Ipso facto, there is no such thing as a transgender. Therefore, Louisa May Alcott could not be one. My favorite sister was more athletic than I was until she married and had children with her husband, just called herself a tomboy. She played sports until it was time to be a Lady.

Well, Victorian era novelist Mary Ann Evans, who wrote such classics as Silas Marner, Adam Bede and The Mill in The Floss, hid under the male pseudonym, George Elliot.

The New York Times might want to make her a transgender too /sarc

And Yale University was founded by a slave trader, with money raised by selling human beings into bondage.

Where’s the NYT story about that?

[generally]

I think she may have been black.

Probably Ukrainian.

Yeah but she liked men, so they're not interested.

I'm currently reading Middlemarch to my wife — again, for the second time. I think a case can be made that Evans/Elliot was a cleverer and better story teller than Jane Austen. Austen may have been a more elegant user of the English language, though.
