“Born George Jorgensen in the Bronx, New York, Jorgensen underwent a year and a half of hormone treatment and gender re-assignment surgery in 1952. Christine stepped off an aeroplane wrapped in fur, following her surgery in Denmark. The Danish doctor Teit Ritzau, who knew Christine well, has said, “The young Jorgensen identified himself… as a woman who happened to be in a man’s body.” Returning to New York, Jorgensen was pored over by the media and triggered national discussions about gender identity. In 1952, she was crowned Woman of the Year by the Scandinavian Society in New York. Jorgensen herself acknowledged how revolutionary her case was, saying, <<we didn’t start the sexual revolution, but I think we gave it a good kick in the pants!>> She died in 1989.” in https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/1f4c71a6-1359-4241-9f91-7b0a1b5ac9a0 #christinejorgensen #trans #transisbeautiful #thefirstone #transhero #lgbtrights #pride #pridemonth #lgbtq #reworkedphoto #illustrationonphotos #illustrationonphotography #illustrationoncelebraties #reworkedphoto #wannabeportrait #brownieillustration (em New York City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQib6vNsHmW/?utm_medium=tumblr

EX-GI BECOMES BLONDE BEAUTY: Operations Transform Bronx Youth,” New York Daily News (@nydailynews), New York City, December 1, 1952. After serving in the United States Army and attending college, Christine Jorgensen made a series of trips to Copenhagen in the early 1950s to undergo gender affirming surgery. And, on December 1, 1952, sixty-four years ago today, when the New York Daily News announced with the front-page headline, "Ex-GI Becomes Blonde Beauty," Jorgensen became America's first widely-known trans individual, thus starting a career of activism that lasted until her death. While Jorgensen enjoyed a great deal of celebrity, and some success in entertainment, as a result of the publicity surrounding her coming out, she nonetheless faced the backlash and discrimination that one would expect; for example, Jorgensen was unable to marry John Traub, as planned, because her birth certificate listed her biological sex as male, and, as word of the engagement spread, Traub lost his job. Nonetheless, Jorgensen used her fame to encourage increased trans visibility, and to push medical professionals into discussions about gender, sex, and sexuality. In 1989, Jorgensen said that she had given the sexual revolution "a good swift kick in the pants." Christine Jorgensen died of cancer of the bladder and lung on May 3, 1989; she was sixty-two. #lgbthistory #HavePrideInHistory #ChristineJorgensen (at New York, New York)
