Okay! So in the 1953, there was this story about a transgender woman, Georgia Black. And, this wasn't like a celebrity actor or tennis player. She was a fairly average, southern Church lady black woman who was only remarkable by merit of being generally well regarded by her community.
The story is, she got cancer and died at 56, but the doctor who examined her outed her birth gender to her daughter-in-law and possibly her community, which led to her getting harassed by the press during her already difficult medical treatment.
But, what's interesting to me about this story is that whatever press you see about this story, it always seems like the media was trying to drum up controversy, but everyone they interviewed just talked about her with respect and love and told the media to stop bothering them while they were mourning. Like the sensation the media wanted wasn't there. She was a beloved wife and mother, a well-regarded member of the community and most of what you read about Georgia Black is just how much people cared about and missed her and that to me is remarkable.
Also, girl was socially transitioned in 1923 so don't let anyone tell you trans people are a new thing.
