This hurts my brain. Why would that even be a thing? Why, in their minds, would someone wanting to lead a political charge against a vicious foreign occupation actively choose to cripple their chances by pretending to be a woman in a medieval society? Jeanne D'Arc is remarkable because she overcame such a handicap and accomplished great things despite it- Inspiring men to follow a woman in a time when that was not allowed to frequently happen. But if that same character were to have *faked* their position the entire time, the whole context and value of the legend is diminished.
No, they are claiming since she wore men's clothing, she was a FtM troon.
