En esta sección de Cultura LGTBIQA+ en Plaça Tísner, presentada por Laura Sangrà, la artista e investigadora del travestismo Rubén Antón de Drag is Burning recuerda a las personas trans e intersex que en vida entregaron sus cuerpos a la ciencia a comienzos del siglo XX sometiéndose a las primeras cirugías experimentales de afirmación de género. Hablaremos de Karl M. Baer en 1906, Alan L. Hart en 1917, Dora Richter en 1921, Lili Elbe en 1930 y ya en la década de 1950s con las ya icónicas Christine Jorgensen y Coccinelle que hicieron públicas sus transiciones en EEUU y en Europa respectivamente. Muy importante: - NO ES NECESARIA NINGUNA CIRUGÍA PARA SER TRANS, hay hombres con vagina y mujeres con pene. - CADA TRANSICIÓN ES UN TRAJE A MEDIDA como dice nuestra querida Elsa Ruiz. - NO SOMOS PERSONAS MENOS VÁLIDAS POR NO QUERER SER COMO LAS PERSONAS CIS, NI ENTRAR EN EL ESPECTRO DE LO BINARIO. - HAY TANTAS FORMAS DE SER TRANS COMO LA DIVERSIDAD QUE HAY ENTRE LAS PERSONAS.

In honor of Transgender Awareness Week, we are pleased to share this talk by our curator Elizabeth Korsmo, exploring the life and works of Dr. Alan L. Hart, transgender doctor and author who lived and worked in Tacoma during the 1930s.

In February 1918 Alan L. Hart was a talented, up-and-coming 27-year-old intern at San Francisco Hospital. Hart, who stood at 5'4" and weighed about 120 pounds, mixed well with his colleagues at work and afterward—smoking, drinking, swearing and playing cards. His round glasses hemmed in his pensive eyes, a high white collar often flanked his dark tie, and his short hair was slicked neatly to the right. Though the young doctor's alabaster face was smooth, he could deftly go through the motions of shaving with a safety razor. A photograph of a woman, who he had told colleagues was his wife, hung on his boarding-room wall. Then, one day that February, Hart was gone. He left behind nothing but his razor, a stack of mail, a pile of men's clothing—and the photograph, still gazing down from the wall. A NEW HOLD ON LIFE Alberta Lucille Hart, known as Lucille, was born on October 4, 1890, in Halls Summit—a lonesome part of Kansas just west of the Missouri border. The child's father Albert, a hay, grain and hog merchant, died two years later, and his widow Edna moved with Lucille to make a new start in Oregon. They eventually settled there in the pretty town of Albany, where the Calapooia and Willamette rivers twist together like twine into a single sprawling flow. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thes3podcast/message
