"Because the world is a sad place & | need some nerding: here's a thread about the man Hans Christian Andersen fell in love with." "According to his own journals HCA was a virgin by choice, but he had infatuations, the strongest for Edvard Collin the son of his benefactor" "Collin represented the privileged world HCA desperately wanted to belong in and always felt on the outside of" "For reference here's our girl Hans Christian Andersen" - followed by a painting of Hans Christian Andersen sitting on a chair leaning her arm on its back and putting the other hand on top. She is wearing a brown suit with a bow tie. She has no facial hair and her eyes are looking upwards. "And here's a couple images of Edvard Collin. (Don't worry, I'll get to the name)" - The black and white picture to the left shows a man with a beard and side burns wearing a suit. To the left there's a picture taken from the Disney movie The Little Mermaid with a merman whose top part is a photo of a naked man.

So, since the original twitter thread by Jos Truitt that makes the case that #HansChristianAndersen was #trans is now hardly accessible at all, I made an effort to reproduce it here in screenshots.
All tweets in the thread have alt-text. They all show jostruitt's avatar and name "Jos Abolish ICE Truitt" and are dated 18 Jan 2017.
EDIT: for reference, here's the twitter link - https://x.com/jostruitt/status/821706830799896576
