David Skal in his <i>Something in the Blood: The Untold Story of Bram Stoker, the Man Who Wrote Dracula</i> p472-3 attempts one. "Even in 1910, the whole story could have been readily debunked. For instance, on the occasions when offers of marriage were being considered, doctors were called upon to certify the Virgin Queen as fully intact. The real Elizabeth was also fond of occasionally displaying her bosom as décolletage."<br /><br />a) all doctors at that time were male. Skal in his innocence proposes that one of them was permitted to put his finger up the royal vagina!! Really? He would just assert the fact after being told so by either her maj or by the ladies-in-waiting.<br />b) display of décolletage? This is centuries-old trick done by 16th-century boy actors, female impersonators and drag queens. <br /><br />Is that is the best refutation that anyone can come up with?Zagriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124379637664963835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712640935255311366.post-359082351816086252021-02-16T09:43:06.960-05:002021-02-16T09:43:06.960-05:00Yes, it is just you.

It is my personal opinion of course. But being a chemist and having being told that she never menstruated, chances are that she suffered from a great hormonal unbalance. This would have been a systemic pathology causing baldness, or, the opposite, hirsutism. It is speculatory history.Consuelo Bettinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841634682157861119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712640935255311366.post-7325504877648757042019-05-02T07:06:36.328-04:002019-05-02T07:06:36.328-04:00My guess is intersexed whose parents choose to rai...My guess is intersexed whose parents choose to raise them as a female but as she came of age she felt more as an man as many times happens.

Despite having male lovers, in addition she might have had a unknown chemical imbalance, abnormality, or something that might have caused her not want to get married. The subject of of her being bisexual or bi-curious is a so-so or whatever that some people might suspect of her. We didn't live in her era or time and people today would've had suspensions of unclean lust. Unless that type of information is secretly locked away somewhere to a point that no one could find it, nor the Queen Elizabeth 2 today.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13341428628127921203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712640935255311366.post-33887763171291435592013-11-21T09:18:37.268-05:002013-11-21T09:18:37.268-05:00I read about this idea a few years ago, and saw a ...I read about this idea a few years ago, and saw a TV documentary about it, which was so badly made as to be almost unwatchable. I may be biased (I'm a huge fan of strong women) but I came to the conclusion that this theory probably came about through the same snobbery which says Shakespeare couldn't have been an ill-educated low-born hick, i.e. that someone could not believe that a mere woman could possibly speak 5 languages fluently, write excellent poetry and be possibly the best speechwriter and politician of her lifetime. Not very feminine, so therefore not a woman. I actually believe she was. As you say, interesting to have the theory out there in public and make mention of it, but I think Elizabeth was a woman. Or possibly intersex as suggested above. I don't believe she was replaced. But I have no proof, of course.James Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10483160721546941849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712640935255311366.post-91984822970816537022013-06-13T14:04:32.959-04:002013-06-13T14:04:32.959-04:00See the quote from Oscar Wilde above.
