Mademoiselle D'Éon: France's First Transgender Spy (REPEAT)

It's Trans History Week in the UK, so we're taking you back to one of our first and favourite episodes ever from Season 1.

This is the unbelievably wild life story of the Chevalier d'Éon: transgender spy, soldier, and sleuth of the French Enlightenment.

Assigned male at birth, Charles eventually transitioned to become Charlotte, before discovering the humiliating constraints of life as an 18th century woman. She later escaped the French Revolution and lived out her final days in London, writing her memoirs (CHIC) and fighting master swordsmen on stage – in a dress! – for extra cash.
