The Chevalier D'Eon was probably the most badass transgender that ever lived. Forget the Three Musketeers. Charles Genevieve D'Eon Beaumont was the real deal, with swordfights and everything.

Now if we could just get a swashbuckling, Three Musketeers type movie made about her life. It would be a real popcorn burner for sure.

Oh my goodness, I would soooo watch that, and the popcorn/m&m's mixture would commence.
I second the notion for a movie about her.

I'm sort of a weird breed, but my heroines generally are non-violent. Lynn Conway comes to mind. Among the cisgender, Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks.

I like mellow people who do awesome stuff too; Lynn rocks my world. Geneviève d'Éon is admirable for bucking the social order. Not sure about the swordfights---the Wikipedia illustration shows fencing with foils, which is rather different---though I suspect the anime series Le Chevalier D'Eon probably sensationalizes her a bit. Haven't watched it, but that's kind of how anime goes.
