[Snowflake] Recs

[karanguni]

In your own space, post recs for at least three fanworks that you did not create.

Truth be told, I am having a downright awful day, so I'm going to phone this one in with my Yuletide recs and a request that people just... leave a comment and talk about something. Anything.

Woo, awful day twins! *weak fistbump*

Dr. James Barry was a Scottish military physician in the early 19th century who was trans and was rumored to be having a romantic relationship with his black "manservant". He got into fistfights with people he disagreed with, and was at the forefront of medical advances that saved a lot of lives. He rose to a very high rank and was buried under his chosen name with full military honors even after rumors spread about him being trans. The doctor who signed his death certificate said that he didn't bother checking the sex of the body because it was clearly the body of his friend James and that was all anyone ought to care about. He is probably my all-time favorite historical trans person.
