Welcome to episode 31!! Today we dive into the real life of Lili Ilse Elvenes, otherwise known as Lili Elbe! A famous painter and trans icon of her time, her story gained international attention again when the 2016 film The Danish Girl, based fully off of a fictional novel about Lili’s life, was released. Seriously, there’s two full pages of historical inaccuracies. Tune in to learn where the movie went wrong, the story of her tragic death, and we finally settle the debate: does Denmark have mountains?
