This story of this probably trans Burmese-Chinese warlord and Golden Triangle opium smuggler turned peace broker has always fascinated me.
What a life he led. (He was often described as bisexual, but that was because he had to marry a man earlier in life; at the end of his life he asked to be called uncle by everyone)
@martin_piper it's a mess all over. i don't know that anyone's written a thing about him in the proper pronouns, but it's probably a big deal in myanmar that they're even willing to say trans about him
