On the History Channel, they did a piece on the American Civil war. There was mention of women dressed as soldiers and they were "outed" when they were injured or later, dead. Sometimes is was after being exhumed from a mass grave they they were 'outed'. It's very supportive of the points you make.
I'm glad you discussed how hard it was to move around in history. People didn't just pack up and relocate; communities were tight, they often helped each other survive through hard times and newcomers were not trusted.
