Today a bit of history and film Queen of Sweden, Christina was the last one from the house of Vasa. As a small child it was suspected she was a boy. Later she picked up interests mostly pursued by boys, horse riding, fencing and bear hunting. As an adult Christina behaved mostly like a man, sat and rode like a man would and swore and ate like a soldier. She dressed in men’s clothing for the most part of her life. It only changed when she visited Rome. Christina wrote about herself in her diaries often referring to her androgynous way of being. Her closest friend was Ebba Sparre, with whom the queen shared “a longterm, intimate relationship”. Christine called her “Belle”, considered her charming and spend every possible moment with la belle comtesse. She shared her emotions towards Ebba, praised her beauty and mind and at times introduced her as a person she sleeps with to the ambassador of England, Whitelocke. After leaving Sweden Christina kept sending passionate letters to her filled with love proclamations. Currently she is portrayed as a lesian, however historians still debate on that. Her relations with women were quite apparent for the times. On the list of her lovers aside from Sparre we can find Gabrielle de Rochechouart de Mortemart, Rachel, cousin of Diego Teixeira or a singer, Angelina Giorgino. Life of Christina was portrayed in a movie “Queen Christina” and her romance with Ebba was a base for the film “The Girl King”. Gif is a fragment of the film “Queen Christina” from 1933 where the part of the queen was played by Greta Garbo.

I hope that all lesbians who once thought they were bi know that they aren’t contributing to the “bi is just a stepping stone to gay” stereotype. That stereotype was made up by straight people who refused to try to understand bisexuality. I also hope that all bi women who once thought they were lesbians know that they aren’t contributing to the “all lesbians must secretly like men” stereotype. Again, this was made up by straight people who refuse to try to understand lesbians. It’s not anyone’s responsibility in their journey of self discovery to dismantle every harmful stereotype along the way; sometimes you’re just figuring yourself out and get mixed up along the way and that’s okay. We have each other to support each other as wlw regardless of whether or not we got confused down the line at some point.
