In 1952, when Christine Jorgensen became the first transgender person to become well-known, there was little sympathy for her plight. The media treated it as a sensation to be laughed at. The Daily News's leading article ran:
December 1, 1952: Ex-GI Becomes Blonde Beauty. George Jorgensen, Jr., the son of a Bronx carpenter, served in the Army for two years and was given an honorable discharge in 1946. Now George is no more. After six operations, Jorgenson's sex has been changed and today she is a striking woman, working as a photographer in Denmark. Her parents were informed of the big change in a letter Christine (that's her new name) sent to them recently.

We can’t do everything at CISR without our dedicated student employees and interns. This Giving Tuesday (Dec. 1, 2020), we are raising funds to provide students with internships and professional development opportunities in 2021. Through their work at CISR, students get the most out of their JMU experience by being a part of our work and interacting with the international humanitarian community.
Join us Dec. 1 to donate or spread the word about the CISR Student Opportunity Fund!
“Since joining the CISR team, I have enjoyed developing a broader knowledge of international affairs and humanitarian work. I've also enjoyed working with clients in different countries and being hands-on in the publication of The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction.” – Jess, wonderful student employee (pictured)
