Original – We can't say their true preferred gender for certain when their passing as male gave them many, many benefits. This really shows in our article on them. Sándor Vay or Sarolta Vay was a Hungarian poet and journalist. Vay worked as a male journalist both before and after the sensational trial for his marriage to "another" woman in 1889. The case drew the attention of noted sexologists of the period, including Havelock Ellis and Richard von Krafft-Ebing, who used it to explore female inversion in the emerging field of sexology. During his lifetime, he was well respected as an author of historical articles on notable figures and cultural topics related to Hungary. Many of his works have been posthumously republished and are considered an important part of his country's literary heritage.

Reason: The source isn't perfect by any means, but it's easy to get good sources for, say, France or the UK or the US. This is rarer, and as such, I think it's worth consideration despite a certain amount of graininess.
