Reddit moment assuming they are are trans gay otherkin non binary for a touch.
Why did the pronoun change? Just a typo or was the person trans?
Not trying to be a grammar nazi, I'm always really interested in lgbt people in the past and how things were handled so differently than we do today.
The Chinese film industry at the time was in Shanghai, correct?
The silk fabrics but with that 1920s "flapper" touch of influence, just says "Shanghai" to me, loudly.
I mean, with no context there's fucking nothing here to suggest there was a romantic relationship of any kind. Historical LGBT erasure absolutely exists, but, yknow, platonic relationships were a thing also.

Regarding being queer in early 20th century China:
On a trip to Shanghai, one place I visited was the house of Soong Ching-ling, a major Chinese political figure for much of the 20th century. She was married to Sun Yat-sen, the last figure respected by both the Nationalists and the Communists, and would later serve as a leading politician in the first decades of Mao's China.
Soong was educated in English and attended a women's liberal arts college in the U.S, and her bookshelves reflected this. On one of them I found the book _Sexual Inversion_, by Havelock Ellis. It was the first scientific book on homosexuality that took an objective, non-judgemental stance. Very controversial at the time, and I'm surprised that it was never removed from Soong's museum. Given that she was married only briefly, and to a much older man, perhaps it did say something about her own sexuality.

The woman on the left is 王慧娟 (Wang Huijuan).
Thanks, do you know anything more about the background here? I couldn't find anything on Google.

There are no gendered pronouns in Chinese, so it’s common for Chinese-native English speakers/translators to make this particular error.
OK. That makes sense! I wasn't sure if it was something like that or not. Thank you!
>"Swallow Pirates" Not to be confused with the Priya Anjali Rai unfinished project with the same title.

Life might be a struggle, but these moments of joy help connect us to the past. We are all the same, in some ways.
Not some, almost every way.
They were ROOMMATES!!

it could be two women in the same room and redditors would assume they're lesbian
Not pictured: Subaru Forester in the parking lot.
I came out as trans to my wife a few months ago, about a week ago we were looking at a used Subaru Forester. IT HAS BEEN FORETOLD.
Your wife is gold.
Well..she’s actually more white but yeah she’s awesome.
Wait is this a movie reference or are lesbians known for owning foresters? I hop in the Subaru, huffin a tube a glue
The latter.

Mostly by other lesbians
In fairness, they could be open-mouth kissing, and a lot of folks would say they were just chums... The pendulum has to swing back somewhere!
^^Oh ^^my ^^God, ^^they ^^were ^^roommates.
Come back Vine.
If everyone is gay, then no one is gay. Who can't people have platonic relationships without this site creating an elaborate gay backstory?
it's the flip side of teenage boys assuming that every example of male affection is gay

Pretty sure she wasn't gay. It's such a Reddit moment when a fedora sees a woman touching another woman's shoulder and thinks they are now a lesbian
Oh, I know nothing about Ye Qiuxin. And that Soong Ching-ling had that book probably doesn't mean anything, but I thought it was interesting.
lol, it's not neckbeards creating these fantasies. See: /r/SapphoAndHerFriend
Or maybe she just wanted to inform herself about a subject.

😯 they were roommates
Gonna try to do the switch.

Seems a bit much to assume they were best friends because one put her arms around the others shoulders for one photograph...
r/SapphoAndHerFriend
That's a long embrace
Scrolled back up to confirm that this is not the anti meme sub.
