Description
Thomas Hall, born Thomasine Hall, was an English intersex person and servant in colonial Virginia whose wearing of female attire and, on subsequent investigation, a liaison with a maid provoked public controversy in 1629. Hall was subjected to a physical inspection, and the case reached the Quarter Court in Jamestown, which ruled that Hall was "both a man and a woman and must dress in male and female clothing simultaneously".
