Dans les années 1930, Dora Richter et l'artiste danoise Lili Elbe sont les premières personnes trans à bénéficier d'une chirurgie de réassignation sexuelle. Malheureusement, elles décèdent toutes les deux peu de temps après leurs opérations. En 1952, une autre femme va devenir célèbre suite à sa transition physique : Christine Jorgensen. D'enfant timide à icône glamour, découvrez sa True Story. “Maman, pourquoi Dieu ne nous a-t-il pas faits pareil ?” Dans le quartier du Bronx, à New-York, Christine naît le 30 mai 1926. Elle est assignée garçon à la naissance : autrement dit, son corps présente les caractéristiques biologiques d'un corps masculin. Pourtant, très tôt, elle se pose des questions sur son genre, sur le genre en général. Elle demande à sa mère “Maman, pourquoi Dieu ne nous a-t-il pas faits pareil ?”. Alors qu'elle a alors 20 ans, ses questions sur son identité n'ont toujours pas de réponse. Elle sait qu'elle est une femme, mais la société ne la perçoit pas comme telle.

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.

Paladina dei diritti civili e LGBT, Christine Jorgensen nasce come un uomo, cresce in uno dei quartieri più violenti di New York, dove è costantemente oggetto di scherno e aggressioni, ma nonostante tutto si mette alla ricerca del corpo che le appartiene, accettando terapie mediche all'epoca solo sperimentali, e aiutando poi chi, come lei, fatica a trovare un posto nel mondo. Con la sua intelligenza e la sua vivacità Christine Jorgensen sprona generazioni di ragazzi e ragazze ad affermare sé stessi attraverso la propria identità più profonda, e riesce a dare un nome alla condizione che lei stessa vive e che molti intorno a lei non possono nemmeno immaginare: nascere nel corpo sbagliato.

Ačkoliv sexuologie na jednu stranu nabízela nová chápání trans prožitků, tyto prožitky často patologizovala a její spojitost s eugenikou vrhá stín na to, jaké vlastně byly její společenské cíle. I přesto však najdeme případy jako Christine Jorgensen, jejíž život jakožto trans ženy byl sexuologií společensky legitimizován. Jorgensen byla revoluční postavou v trans historii díky své otevřenosti vůči médiím.

Au début des années 1950, l'Américaine Christine Jorgensen fut la première personne à rendre public son changement de sexe. Elle en tira, à l'époque, une certaine notoriété.Une erreur de la natureChristine Jorgensen était née, en 1926, dans le corps d'un homme. Elle se nomma donc d'abord George William Jorgensen et, d'après ses dires, se sentit tout de suite mal à l'aise dans son identité masculine.Après son service militaire, en 1951, le jeune homme commence à prendre des hormones féminines. Il a entendu parler de cette chirurgie qui transformerait le corps d'un homme en celui d'une femme. Mais de telles pratiques sont interdites aux États-Unis.Sur ces entrefaites, il apprend qu'un médecin danois réalise ces opérations de réattribution sexuelle. Il se rend alors au Danemark, où il subit une série d'opérations qui, ajoutées à une cure intensive d'hormones, lui donnent le corps d'une femme.George William Jorgensen ne se revendiquait pas comme un homosexuel, mais comme une femme que la nature avait dotée, par erreur, d'un corps masculin.Riche et célèbreEn 1953, l'ancien soldat fait un retour remarqué dans son pays. C'est une femme élégante qui descend de l'avion. Vêtue d'un manteau de fourrure et d'une écharpe de soie, maquillée avec soin, elle sourit aux photographes, qui immortalisent l'événement.Dès lors, Christine Jorgensen devient une célébrité. Courtisée par Hollywood, elle tourne un film et apparaît dans de nombreuses émissions de télévision. Elle participe à des spectacles, où elle chante et joue la comédie. À deux reprises, la jeune femme écrit son autobiographie, qui trouve de très nombreux lecteurs.En 1970, un film s'inspire même de son histoire. Christine Jorgensen est devenue un personnage en vue et fait rapidement fortune.En 1959, elle annonce ses fiançailles avec un employé de bureau. Mais le mariage ne peut avoir lieu, la jeune femme étant toujours considérée comme un homme par l'état civil. À la suite de cette annonce, son fiancé perd d'ailleurs son emploi.On lui a également prêté une liaison avec Joe DiMaggio, le célèbre joueur de base-ball.

Christine Jorgensen began gender reassignment surgery in Copenhagen on 24th September 1951. The New York Daily News later heralded the event with a headline splash - “Ex-GI Becomes Blonde Beauty!” - thereby creating America's first transgender celebrity.Writing to friends, she said: “As you can see by the enclosed photos, taken just before the operation, I have changed a great deal. But it is the other changes that are so much more important. Remember the shy, miserable person who left America? Well, that person is no more and, as you can see, I'm in marvellous spirits.”In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider how surprisingly tolerant her parents and much of the media were; how she was strong-armed into showbiz but used the notoriety to campaign for trans rights; and reveal that - amongst her many memoirs - she also penned a Scandinavian cookbook...Further Reading:• ‘Christine Jorgensen – Queer Icon' (Queer Icons, 2020): https://queericons.home.blog/2020/02/27/christine-jorgensen/• ‘The Hour Magazine with Gary Collins: guest Christine Jorgensen' (1980s): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDlGUeF1Bg0• ‘Dec. 1, 1952: Ex-GI Becomes Blonde Beauty' (WIRED, 2010): https://www.wired.com/2010/12/1201first-sex-change-surgery/For bonus material and to support the show, visit Patreon.com/RetrospectorsWe'll be back on Monday!

Today is the 95th birthday of Christine Jorgensen. When confronted with people's opinions about the gender identities of others, I often claim that they are the bravest people we will ever meet. Think about it. If how you felt on the inside didn't match how you looked on the outside and you chose to dress and alter yourself to align those two more closely, but in doing so, in making yourself feel more whole, you are going to get stares and snickers every time you left your house. All day long. Would you be brave enough to do it? Would you be strong enough to live your truth? The world is a better place because she was in it and still feels the loss that she has left.

Ready For Takeoff - Turn Your Aviation Passion Into A Career

“It started with me seeing a photo of a plane in a Christmas catalogue and pointing to it. From that moment, that was what I wanted. As a child I would dream of flying, would beg my parents to go to the airport, watch planes take off and land. Around the age of 6, I flew in my first plane. It was all I ever wanted to do.” At the same time, Lepley, who was assigned male at birth, explains that “from my earliest recollection I knew I was a girl. Yet societal, family and religious expectations would not allow it. I didn’t even know what trans was. As a child of the 70s and 80s there was no Google, Internet, and so on. It was only through some research in the card catalogues of our library did I find a few stories on others like me. One was Christine Jorgensen. The other was Renée Richards.” As Lepley was coming to terms with her gender reality, her drive to become a pilot was unabated. Like many trans people, Lepley focussed on her professional career and achieved substantial success — in many ways, at the expense of her personal life — before transitioning to her gender identity. “When I was 15, my dad took me to the local community college in Traverse City, Michigan, which had an aviation program,” Lepley continues. “We met with the Administrator of that department and learned what I would need to do to prepare for my career. At the age of 16, I would begin ground school. In the mornings and early afternoon, I would attend high school. In the late afternoon? College.” “By the time I was 21, I had secured my first airline job as a flight engineer on a Lockheed Electra for an airline called Zantop, based in Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti, MI. I was on top of the world, traveling to cities throughout the United States,” Lepley says. Today, Lepley, an MD-11 first officer for a cargo airline, is based in Anchorage and type-rated for the SA-227, B-757/767 and MD-11. In addition to her type ratings, she has flown the DC-9 and engineered on the L-188, DC-8 and B-747. Lepley flies the professionally challenging MD-11 aircraft for a cargo airline. Image: John Walton Looking back, Lepley notes that it was only as she achieved her professional goals and career success that the incongruity of living in the male gender became insurmountable. Gender identity is, of course, not a choice, and coming to the realisation that one is trans — and then making the decision to live an authentic life — is an often difficult journey. In aviation terms, Lepley describes knowing that she was female yet living in a male body as listening to the HF frequencies with constant static every hour of the day for more than thirty years. That courageous decision to confront the need to live as the same gender in one’s brain, particularly for those people who transition to living in a gender into which they were not born, often comes with consequences, however. Lepley’s transition cost her a marriage, her home, retirement, and friendships, as well as a church community, but the reaction from her employer and the aviation community was also a concern. “Weighing heavily on my mind was the career that I worked so hard to obtain. Would I lose that as well?” Lepley asked herself. “Aviation is very much a male dominated field, with less than 6% flying as women. I was very fearful of coming out. How would I be perceived? How would I be treated? Would I be accepted? These were just some of the multiple questions that I processed.” “Fortunately,” Lepley notes, “I had a role model of a woman who transitioned a few years prior to me. We met on a few occasions while overseas. She offered her help and assistance when it came to opening the door for my transition and instrumental in my success.” “When I finally sat down with my chief pilot, words just could not describe the anxiety I was feeling. Here I am about to tell another man: ‘I am a woman’. Fortunately, he was already briefed on what I was about to say and stopped me. He said, ‘Don’t worry about it…I am here for you.’” Lepley is a first officer on the MD-11 fleet. Image: Kelly Lepley “It was those words that I will never forget,” Lepley says. “In that moment, he showed me more Christ-like love than any of my peers at the church I once called home. This is all any of us want: to be treated with dignity, respect, and love.” Lepley’s continued faith in the context of her gender identity and transition is one of the most striking aspects of this remarkable woman. “I attend church in both Alaska and Kentucky when my schedule affords me the opportunity,” Lepley explains. “My faith is much deeper and much richer than before.” Noting that finding a church while overseas can be difficult at times, she has been able to worship in cities like Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Sydney, Honolulu and Southern California. Yet many trans people not only find an unwelcoming atmosphere in places of faith, but in their workplaces as well. Lepley recommends finding a strong, motivating mentor to new pilots. Image: Kelly Lepley “When news did break of my transition, and rumors began to fly, I sat down and wrote out my story and posted it on our internal union website,” Lepley says. “I didn’t know what to expect. Knowing once I posted that story, there was no turning back. A new chapter in my life was about to begin. Like the demands I place on myself as an aviator, I would demand it of myself as a woman. Mediocrity was not an option.” “I had to earn the respect of my peers as a woman, and that was OK. From the way I wore my uniform, dressed after hours, to the way I walked, spoke, and carried myself, everything I did had to be done with the highest of my own expectations. These were my peers with whom I loved and they deserved my very best. Demanding respect is one thing, but in the end is not meaningful. Earning it creates something much deeper. That was what I wanted and that is what I received.” In her current first officer position, Lepley explains that she normally works a two week on, two week off schedule. The best part of her job, Lepley says, is meeting people from around the world. The downside, however is that “there is no regularity to my life. As much as I would love to participate in a weekly Bible Study, dance class, or social gathering, it just isn’t doable with my schedule.” That’s just one of the tradeoffs Lepley makes as part of her career, but she consciously does her bit to help others to make their work/life balance work more easily: “When I am not scheduled to be with my kids, I will bid lines over the holidays in order to give someone junior to me the opportunity to be home with their family.” “It’s a tough call!” Lepley says when asked which route is her favorite. “There is so much diversity throughout this world. I love flying over Japan seeing Mt. Fuji the glaciers in Alaska, the Tien Shan Mountain Range over eastern Kazakhstan and Western China, the Zagros Mountains in Eastern Iran… each place has its own unique beauty.” Of course, getting to the front seats can be an expensive investment for new pilots. “One of the greatest deterrent for taking up this career is cost,” Lepley notes. “When I speak to young people I tell them: do not discount the smaller colleges. When you look hard enough there are options. In my case, I could not afford a four year college to obtain my ratings. It was cost prohibitive. Fortunately, our local community college, Northwestern Michigan College had their own aviation school. For a fraction of what it would have cost me at a major name college, I was able to obtain all my ratings in conjunction with a two year degree.” “I used that foundation and experience to land a flight engineer slot with Zantop Airlines. Upon earning my wings as a flight engineer, I turned back to school focusing on my four year degree through Embry-Riddle’s Worldwide Program. By accumulating immeasurable flight experience, I was able to use my salary to obtain a four year degree. Although it took me over ten years to complete it, I overcame that obstacle and did it debt free.” Having adopted two precious girls from China, Lepley has a soft heart for orphans. When on layover in Taiwan, she visits a home for orphans, bringing snacks, and playing with the kids. In a big way, these children tug at my heart. Image: Kelly Lepley Lepley explains that she sought out mentors who matched and spurred on her own dedication. “There were two men in my flight school who pushed me hard. One was a retired Lieutenant Colonel and the other a long time instructor. Both of them took me under their wings. They pushed me hard. Anything less than precise was not good enough. That foundation they placed on me early in my career drives me today in what I do. I owe much of my career to them!” To find that kind of mentor, Lepley recommends, “Set your bar very high. Seek out an instructor who has those same expectations. Show them your desire and be persistent. They will take you under their wings and push you if you are willing to allow it.”

Christine Jorgensen never intended to become a celebrity. In 1951, Jorgensen traveled to Europe to obtain special permission to undergo a series of operations, which would help complete her medical transition from male to female, becoming the first American woman to publicly receive this type of surgery. When she returned to the states, the New York Daily News wrote about her under the headline: ’EX GI BECOMES BLONDE BEAUTY.’ Christine’s public persona marked a significant, though often fraught, step towards normalizing transgender identities in the US, and she came to embrace her role as a pioneer within the transgender community. But her story is still unknown to many and the fight is far from over.  Jo talks about the state of transgender rights with the National Press Secretary of the Human Rights Campaign, Sarah McBride, one of the many activists working today to continue the work Christine began.   Main Sources Christine Jorgensen: a Personal Autobiography - by Christine Jorgensen A Universal-International News report by Fred Maness with footage of Christine Jorgensen arriving at Idlewild Airport in 1951 ‘Ex-GI Becomes Blonde Beauty’, from the New York Daily News in December of 1952 ‘Bronx Boy is now a Girl’ from the New York Times in December of 1952 An interview with Christine Jorgensen conducted by the BBC in 1970 An interview with Christine Jorgensen conducted by Hour Magazine in May of 1984 An Associated Press article in the LA Times from June 1986 titled: ‘Famed Transsexual Christine Jorgensen Out of the Spotlight’ Uncredited footage and interviews titled ‘Christine in Denmark Parts I and II’ Various clips, footage, and reviews of Christine’s stage act referenced throughout the episode.

With the banner headline, "Ex-GI Becomes Blonde Beauty," The New York Daily News announced that Christine Jorgensen was the very first person to ever undergo sex reassignment surgery. That wasn't actually true, but it was correct as far as anyone at the time knew, and the basic fact that George William Jorgensen, Jr. had become a woman after surgery in Denmark shortly after being discharged from the US Army was quite remarkable. Christine Jorgensen was the first publicly known person to switch sexes, and one of the first to use hormone therapy under the direction of the Danish Doctor Christian Hamburger. Jorgensen's story was so remarkable that even the expected prejudices weren't quite as prevalent, because reporters and the public were so fascinated with her story that they turned her into a celebrity. For decades, Jorgensen was the only well known transgender figure in American culture, and she made a living from being Christine Jorgensen on talk shows and in a cabaret show. All of that began as soon as The New York Daily News published their story on Jorgensen's sex reassignment surgery.

Transsexual American celebrity is born. George William Jorgensen was born to Danish American parents on May 30, 1926, in the Bronx, New York. After graduating from Christopher Columbus High School in 1945, he was drafted into the Army, where he served for two years. According to Jorgensen, he always felt like someone born in the wrong body. In 1950, at the age of 49, he addressed this by flying to Copenhagen, Denmark to undergo surgery that castrated him and removed his penis. (He did not, however, have a vagina constructed.) The series of medical procedures – not available in the U.S. at the time – transformed him from a man into a woman. Two years later, the newly renamed Christine Jorgenson wrote her parents, “Nature made a mistake, which I have corrected, and I am now your daughter.” She was an attractive woman, and returned to New York to great media attention, helping change the country’s view of transsexuals. Jorgensen was the most written about person in the U.S. in 1953; even she was surprised by the attention. From her profession as a photographer, she pursued new roles as an entertainer and singer. She also traveled extensively, becoming highly popular on the public-speaking circuit for her lectures on transsexuality and gender dysphoria. Her book, Christine Jorgensen: A Personal Autobiography, became the 1970 movie, The Christine Jorgensen Movie. Jorgensen retired to southern California and died in 1988 at the age of 62 of bladder cancer. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
