Ralph was a mixed race guy who was living as a husband to a woman named Mamie in 1906, but eventually took a liking to a gal named Dorothy and decided to get proper married. Wisconsin had a eugenics test (eugenics was hella popular in the US - that’s where the Nazis learned it from) you had to take before you got married.

Ralph passed the blood test with zero problems, and got legally married to Dorothy. Mamie got jealous, and then outed him to the authorities.

I’ve been reading True Sex: The Lives of Trans Men at the Turn of the 20th Century. We have always been here.

how the fuck were they testing blood? by taste??

They were just testing for syphilis usually.

I don’t think there would be any form of genetic testing. Eugenics has always been profoundly unscientific.
