This is my first attempt at a historically inspired script. I've come to find out that they have their own unique complexities, so if you spot anything in the script that doesn't ring true, do me a favour and break it to me gently :)
I've loosely based this off the alleged relationship between real-life pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read. This script isn't historically accurate by any stretch, but I found the general idea fascinating, not least because they were pirates during the height of the "Golden-Age of Piracy", which I think is insanely cool. They concealed the fact that they were women and were - by all accounts - completely accepted as men by the rest of the crew.
By way of a visual aid: 'A victim of the pirates, Dorothy Thomas, left a description of Read and Bonny: They "wore men's jackets, and long trousers, and handkerchiefs tied about their heads: and ... each of them had a machete and pistol in their hands and they cursed and swore at the men to murder [Dorothy]." Thomas also recorded that she knew that they were women, "from the largeness of their breasts."'.
I'm choosing to interpret this as 'they were badass and absolutely stacked' and no-one can stop me.
