In this episode we talk about gender nonconforming people throughout history, and ASOIAF. We cover everyone from Joan of Arc, genderqueer Viking era people, possible trans saints, and a Polish gender criminal (of sorts). And we compare them to characters like Brienne of Tarth, Morna White Mask, Alleras the Sphinx, Arya Stark, Brave Danny Flint, and more. Join us as we discuss how the gender binary is fake and heteronormativity is bullshit!
