Mmmmm

This photo always cheers me up a bit. It’s a front-page article from 1955 about Christine Jorgensen, one of the first women to have sex-reassignment surgery.

Since the text is a bit small and I couldn’t find a larger copy, here’s what the small blurb says:

A World of a Difference

George W. Jorgensen, Jr., son of a Bronx carpenter, served in the Army for two years and was given honorable discharge in 1946. Now George is no more. After six operations, Jorgensen’s sex has been changed and today she is a striking woman, working as a photographer in Denmark. Parents were informed of the big change in a letter Christine (that’s her new name) sent to them recently.

This article is 58 years old, and it’s more respectful of Christine’s pronoun choices and name than some publications are today. It makes me happy to see a newspaper be respectful of a trans person’s choice of name and pronouns like that :3

It’s Transgender Awareness Month. Also depending on who you ask it’s Trans Week or the week before Transgender Awareness Week. There is a subtle but pertinent lack of coordination among the community. The one thing we CAN count on though is the first 20 days of November will lead up to #TDOR or Transgender Day of Remembrance, where we look back at the Transpeople who have lost their lives at the hands of intolerance. This year there are over 60 names people on the list (There are a handful of unidentified persons that need to be honored.) that have died since Nov. 20th 2012. Sadly the list does not include suicides. The rate of suicide in the transgender community is 41% which makes up 50% of the rate of the LGBT as a whole, and is 25 times the national average of 1.6%. Since there has been systematic erasure and community wide denial of Transgender or multi-gender constructs, the amount of coverage given to these victims is severely lacking. Which is why it is ever so important to honor these people; if we don’t there’s a good chance no one will. I am (most likely) hosting the TDOR on my campus, and will be participating in the official event. I have already made myself acquainted with the long, brutal, and depressing list; so now I will bring it to you, 3 people per day until November 20th. I will also be uploading links full of information, history, statistics, and situations that may/will be triggering. I will include warnings at the top, however I will not exclude anyone from seeing these posts. I also encourage you to share them, discuss them, ask questions of myself or others, and contribute yourself! That’s the point of AWARENESS! Cheers.

hisspers replied to your post: I haven’t gone to bed yet which is fucking awesome…

Have you seriously not slept

Nope. I’m also running late to catch the 11:50 to downtown. I could catch the 12:05 but I’m feeling lazy right now. So I’ll catch the 12:20. Fun fun fun.
