rxpharm Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 A true icon in the transgender community. I remember seeing her photo in one of our library books while I was in junior high school and she piqued my interest beginning my journey into an lb lover. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Waiting for this to appear on Pirate Bay etc to download. Remember her well from the popular press in the 60's. Another transgender who made a few headlines was Julia Grant. She lived for a while in an apartment below me in the UK - also used to be in the bar of a local 'gayish' pub in the town centre - quite brave that. Never had a conversation with her as far as I recall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Grant_(transgender_activist) https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/jul/04/the-extraordinary-life-of-april-ashley-review-the-trans-icon-steals-the-limelight-yet-again 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
