Hall’s sexual ambivalence soon confounded his/her neighbors. Sometimes Hall appeared in men’s clothing, sometimes in women’s. Rumors circulated that Hall, as a man, “did ly with a maid of Mr. Richard Bennetts called greate Besse.” Other reports insisted that Hall was in fact a woman. One man, for whom Hall had worked as a servant, concluded that Hall was both sexes in one.
Soon, Halls neighbors where confused by his/her sexual ambivalence. Hall alternated between wearing men’s clothing and women’s. Rumors spread that Hall, as a man, “did ly with a maid of Mr. Richard Bennetts called greate Besse,” while others claimed that Hall was actually female. A former employer of Hall’s deduced that Hall was both sexes simultaneously.
Hall’s enactment of both masculinity and femininity—through sartorial choices and intimate encounters---baffled the members of his/her community. Hall’s acquaintances relied on cultural definitions of gender to argue that Hall was a man, a woman, or “both sexes in one.”
