**a female husband doesn't mean a woman who does the job rather than the man that a common misunderstanding of what it actually means**
back when gay
marriage (or being gay in general) was a frowned upon thing and you were consider to be "the devil
faggot slutty
whore"
lesbian did something to go around this, is when a woman (living as a man) marries another woman, now back than there was no way to actually tell someone gender other than just by looking at them or ID and back than it was super easy to get away with things,
now the phrase female husband doesn't just mean woman to woman (although it kinda does)
it could be a male trans or just a
lesbian, (fun fact this was actually illegal even if your partner knew)
There were plenty of cases although giving an example would be super boring, like are you that curious just to find out that most people either cried or didn't really fucking care? if you really want an example go to wiki which is how I got most of my info,
this term was
popular In 1746 by a book by the same name (Female husband)
