Translations:History of nonbinary gender/42/en
- During WWII, the Jewish surrealist artist Claude Cahun (who described their gender as "neutral")[1] with their life-partner Marcel Moore (also a Jewish artist who chose a neutral name) engaged in resistance work and activism against the Nazis during the German occupation of France. In 1944, Cahun and Moore were arrested by the Nazis and sentenced to death, but the sentence was never carried out as the island was liberated from German occupation in 1945.[2]
