A Cornucopia Of Transgender Ancestors

In this article, Wikipedia offers a cornucopia of Transgender ancestors. The list of names and their bios affirms Transgender {Transgender History & Geography: Crossdressing in Context, vol. 3} people have been around forever. If you feel alone and isolated, know that you are not. Trans people are everywhere and always have been.




List of transgender people

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  (Redirected from List of transgendered people)
The people on this list have been selected because their fame or notoriety is in some way due or connected to their transgender identity or behaviour. The individual listings note the subject's nationality and main occupation, especially if the person is known for reasons other than their transgenderism.
It is often difficult to construe the gender and sexual identity of those people who lived before the 20th century, since most of the modern concepts of gender were not developed until the second half of the century. In many non-Western societies, there is no separation of transgender people from the rest of the gay/lesbian/bisexual population. Some of the persons listed here crossdressed during wartime for various purposes.
It should also be noted transgendered people are by definition not "transvestites" or "drag performers" because the latter do not live or identify their gender as being opposite of their chromosomes consistently in their daily lives.
