Georgia Southern University scientists say they made the discovery about General Casimir Pulaski after years of research
They claim DNA testing and examination of skeletal remains shows Pulaski was biologically female
A new documentary suggests that Pulaski had an intersex condition known as congenital adrenal hyperplasia
They said Pulaski's remains showed a female-looking pelvis, as well as a more female facial structure and jaw
The team's findings are currently being reviewed by the Journal of Forensic Anthropology
======================================================================
Scientific researchers are arguing that examination of skeletal remains and DNA testing has found that a Revolutionary war hero dubbed 'the father of the American cavalry' was in fact biologically female.
Researchers from Georgia Southern University say they made the discovery about General Casimir Pulaski after years of research examining the general's remains.
Their claims are laid out in a new documentary - The General Was Female? - on the Smithsonian Channel's America's Hidden Stories series, which airs next week.
The documentary suggests that Pulaski had an intersex condition known as congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
The condition results in genetic females producing excessive amounts of male steroid hormones that can lead to abnormal sexual development and make genitals appear more masculine.

From his/her grave marker:
Doubt and uncertainty exists as to where Pulaski died and as to his burial-place. A contemporary Charleston, S.C. newspaper item and other sources indicate that he died aboard a ship bound for that port. It was generally believed that he was buried at sea. A tradition persisted, however, that General Pulaski died at Greenwich plantation near Savannah and that he was buried there. When the monument here was under erection the grave at Greenwich was opened. The remains found there conformed, in the opinion of physicians, to a man of Pulaski’s age and stature and were re-interred beneath this memorial in a metallic case in 1854.
And Joan of Arc was actually a man...
First Monday in March, a state holiday in IL, kiddies get out of school for it although most offices remain open.
So we’re all set with a LGBTQ holiday in IL!
That’s kinda like teams saying “Wait’ll next years!!!”
On the other hand, did anyone make sure the skull matched the pelvis? All the key ID features matching him just happen to be on the skull, not the pelvis. It's certainly possible- but then when there is such a huge effort to manipulate research data these days to promote political agendas, and when schools have accepted bribes to pass out parchment to the undeserving, and are so dependent on government grants. I am extra wary of "experts."

Yep. All we hear about the Founders these days is that many of them were slaveholders. So now we hear that Pulaski was a woman. What’s next? Maybe someone will test a thread of Thomas Edison’s hair and conclude that he was a heroin addict.
By the way, who the heck paid for this Pulaski test anyway? Seems to me like it’s a waste of time and money.
Sigh. They are not saying that Pulaski was “transgender” but rather he was a victim of genetic circumstances. Whether or not we are XX or XY, we all start out with a female body plan. At a certain stage of development XYs receive a burst of testosterone which leads to the development of the male body, including genitalia.
If as described in the article, an XX receives the testosterone burst the body will develop largely as male as well. Genetically they are still XX but outwardly they appear to be male. That is what they are speculating about General Pulaski.

Something doesn’t seem quite right here. Researchers messing around with the general’s remains for years?
Well, if he never married or had kids this could be a reason...he lived long enough to do both.
Still Crawford north of the city.
She was a sister who really cooked.
The article mentioned congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Nature can play cruel tricks.
When I was doing family research at the National Archives, I discovered that one of my collateral ancestors from the Dutchess County area, claimed to have been stationed at Fort Stanwix, during the time it was being re-fortified for use in the Revolutionary War. The info was found in a pension request, that had been filed by his children after his death. Who knows if it was true or not. They didn't get his pension anyway. The fort had originally been built by the British during the French and Indian War.
I know one of the people working on this project. She is a bit of a crack pot in some ways, but, does know her stuff. I don’t think she would be doing this to just trash men.
It wouldn’t be unprecedented, but, as was said in other post, there isn’t any guarantee that it was Pulaksi in the grave.
If it was, and it was a she, then She lived and died as a great service to the freedom of Americans. She wouldn’t be the first woman to fight as a man.
I believe that is the most important part of the whole story.
I see a new movie theme coming up soon.
First, they have to cast for the right female lead actress.

i downloaded it but really worth watching and keeping about Lafayette. I think it was 9 US presidents, he is the only foreigner to be invited at the WH which is a record that still stands. The dude is more American than French and I visited his grave in France many years ago when on vacation, and it’s full of US flags I kid you not.,.
