Today I learned on Nostr: TIL Thomas Ernest Boulton and Frederick William Park were Victorian cross-dressers ...

TIL Thomas Ernest Boulton and Frederick William Park were Victorian cross-dressers and homosexual men from upper-middle-class families. Their trial and acquittal were a "significant moment in the history of the hesitant emergence of a public discourse of the homosexual as an identity."
