The caption to the photo says: Four-legged Myrtle Corbin, who bore two children from her first vagina and three from her second.
The whole article – photos of circus “freaks” by Charles Eisenmann from the 1800s – is fascinating.
And yes, there are people in the collection who have non-normative genders.
Here is what fascinates me & always has: I’ve never read anything written by people who worked as “freaks”. I really want to know how they thought about humanity – it couldn’t have been good, right? – and about their own ability to make a profit off their difference. If anyone out there has resources, I would love to read them.
If you haven’t yet checked out io9, do. They publish some really really great stuff.
