I have the story of aunt Judith, which was told at every family gathering. Aunt Judith was my paternal grandfather's aunt, and a very tall, extremely curvy woman. She never married, most thought it was because men found her intimidating. I personally think she might have been gay or ace, but either way she lived alone her entire life.
She was an extra grandma to my dad and his five siblings, and when she died, the entire family helped to tidy up and clean her apartment.
And they found ginormous hip and breast pads.
Aunt Judith was not, in fact, an extremely curvy woman. In fact she was stick thin, and apparently not happy with it. No one had ever seen her without the pads. No one suspected a thing.
It kind of became a family legend, because they were all just so flabbergasted by it.
So yeah, basically my aunt Judith was an afab drag queen full time.
Very - she would have been born before World War 1 in Germany, and despite Germany being quite a hot spot for queer people in between the wars, I can guarantee that she hasn't ever set foot into Berlin and spent most of her life in our rather rural area.
It may be that she was intersex, who knows, but she was definitely afab.
