Christine Jorgenson (1926- 1989) is a famous trans woman who underwent gender reassignment surgery in 1954. She went public with her surgery and used one of the earliest forms of social media to do so: television. Jorgenson bravely took advantage of modern medicine to her advantage. It is important to remember that during the Native Indian and Native Hawaiian era, transgender woman could not make their physical body match their gender identity.
