(1/2) PRIDE MONTH 🏳️‍⚧️

Dora Richter (1892–1966) war eine der frühesten dokumentierten trans Frauen Europas.

In den 1920er Jahren lebte sie in Berlin und arbeitete im Institut für Sexualwissenschaft von Magnus Hirschfeld. Dort erhielt sie Unterstützung und gehörte zu den ersten Menschen weltweit, die dokumentierte geschlechtsangleichende medizinische Eingriffe durchliefen.

I'm currently reading _Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson_ by Tourmaline.

I'm also gradually reading _The Gay Revolution_ by Lillian Faderman, another wonderful book.

My plastic surgeon for my bottom surgery in South Africa in the 1990s wasn't very nice. I stopped going to follow-ups rather than deal with him. Today I panicked and wondered if he had been involved in the apartheid government's secretive program of forced sex changes for white conscripts who were considered queer by the military authorities. Fortunately a little research showed my surgeon qualified after the end of the program.
