TransActual<p>Amelio Robles Ávila was a colonel during the Mexican revolution in the early 1900s. He changed his name in the 1920s, but it wasn’t until much later that he was able to change his military records and be recognised as a “Veteran of the Revolution”. Trans people have always been part of our history, but often their stories don’t get told or their identities are erased. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trans</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transgender</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NonBinary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonBinary</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TransHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TransRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRights</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a></p>

TransActual<p>April Ashley MBE first found fame as a model and actress. However, after press outed her as transgender, she never modelled in the UK again. Not only was April one of the first trans people to undergo gender confirming surgery, her 1971 divorce set a legal precedent regarding trans people’s gender recognition. This precedent stood until 2004, when the UK’s current Gender Recognition Act was introduced. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trans</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transgender</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TransWoman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransWoman</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TransHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LGBTQHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/QueerHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QueerHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a></p>

Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>"Girl and Pug in an Automobile," Gerda Wegener, 1927.</p><p>Wegener (1885-1940) is someone I've featured before, but she's always worth featuring. I love this Art Deco painting, which on the surface is mild and inocuous...a woman and her dog in a car, on what seems to be an early spring day. What could be more everyday?</p><p>All is not what it appears. The woman is Lili Ilse Elvenes, aka Lili Elbe, Wegener's partner, who was trans and one of the earliest known successful recipients of gender-affirming surgery, in 1930. However, for a couple of decades Wegener had been painting haunting portraits of a sexy, almond-eyed femme fatale...and it was a bit of scandal when it emerged in 1913 that this gorgeous woman was assigned male at birth.</p><p>Elbe sadly passed away in 1931, from complications of an attempt to transplant a uterus into her body. Wegener remarried briefly, and her painting style fell out of fashion. She died poor and half-forgotten, but her work has been rediscovered and acclaimed.</p><p>From a private collection.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/DanishArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DanishArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/GerdaWegener" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GerdaWegener</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LiliElbe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LiliElbe</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/QueerHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QueerHistory</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/TransHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransHistory</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/QueerArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QueerArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PortraitMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PortraitMonday</span></a></p>
