Fanny and Stella, the pioneer transvestites who fought Victorian anti-gay laws A new play by Taggart writer Glenn Chandler charts the forgotten story of two cross-dressers and a notorious 1870s court case

My office looks out onto a Blue Plaque for “Stella & Fanny, Victorian Cross Dressers” but somehow I only recently got around to looking them up…turns out they were pretty badass! (Old article but would love to see the play if it ever gets revived!)
