Orlando (1992). Astounding Tilda Swinton

&you positive you aren&a man?&he would ask anxiously, and she would echo, &it be possible you¬ a woman?&and then they must put it to the proof without more ado. For each was so surprised at the quickness of the other&sympathy, and it was to each such a revelation that a woman could be as tolerant and free-spoken as a man, and a man as strange and subtle as a woman, that they had to put the matter to the proof at once. Orlando, by Virginia Woolf
