Claude Cahun was featured in a recent Google doodle:
https://www.google.com/doodles/claude-cahuns-127th-birthday
"French author and surrealist photographer Claude Cahun—best-known for their purposefully unsettling yet playful self-portrait photography that challenged the gender and sexuality norms of the early 20th century..."
...
"Cahun’s work has influenced gender bending celebrities, the modern LGBTQ+ community, and conversations on identity and expression to this day."

Okay, you got me. I thought you were talking about a 127yo author and photographer, celebrating his latest birthday.

Oops ... stuff like this is why professional proof-readers and editors get paid "big-ish bucks"...
PS: Claude's pronouns are they/them ...
That's so cool!
I had no idea people were identifying as non-binary that long ago.
"... non-binary..."
... Which is why I posted their birthday here. :)

Whatever it is that we 'are', whatever our group/tribe/affiliations are - similar people have come before us. It's often nice (sometimes essential) to know our history/ies.
