He participated in the Mexican Revolution and is memorialized by the modern Mexican government... under his deadname. Fuckers had to wait until he was cold in the ground to do it but they did it the instant he was.
[Image description: a tweet by @ EliErlick "Eli Erlick" which says "Think trans people are too mean about misgendering these days? Back in 1913, Amelio Robles Ávila would threaten to shoot anyone who called him a woman with a pistol. He lived openly as a man for 71 years and was accepted by his family, peers, and government."
Attached are two black and white photos of Robles Ávila, posing for the camera and wearing a suit in each. In the left photo, he is standing to the right of a wooden chair, and he has his hand on the gun in his holster. He is resting an arm atop a chair, the hand of which is holding a smoking cigarette. The right photo is of him sitting in a chair outside, with bushes in the background.]
