She was also a Catholic saint. She wore men’s clothing to protect her chastity, not because she was “non-binary” or a lesbian. She was forced her to wear women’s clothing while in prison and some sources say she was raped as a result.

She wore men’s clothing because she was fighting battles and hanging out with very rough men. The Church actually recognized her need to wear mens cloths and women in similar positions were granted the right to wear men’s cloths. Joan was imprisoned in a cage n a dungeon. She agreed to only wear women’s cloths. The guards took her female attire and left only men’s cloths. She put on the men’s cloths for modesty and was discovered violating her agreement and that was part of the crime that sentenced her to burn at the stake. It is interesting no mention is made of Joan’s religious convictions or miracles that surrounded her war against the English.
