Episode Description from the Publisher

This episode was produced by Queer Collective and previously published on their feed.The feral, gender-defiant life of a Canadian WWI veteran who ditched a wealthy upbringing, lived alone in the woods, enlisted three times, fought on the Serbian front as a man, got captured as a prisoner of war, fell in love in a prison camp, and spent decades confusing barbers and bureaucrats alike. We’re queering the Great War, unpacking gender outlaw survival, and asking the spicy question: early non-binary icon or radical dissident woman?CONTACT USInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/queer.collective/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@queercollectivepodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/queer.collective.to/Website: https://www.queercollectiveto.com/Email: queer.collective.to@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
