  • This is a very good introduction to the topic and the history of Trans lives. Nice to see the colonial stories and those before the 1950s. Just one thing: I thought Christine Jorgensen (who had served briefly as a clerk in the US Army at the close of the war) wasn't actually a combatant who 'fought' in the war. Otherwise, thanks for the series. Looking forward to the next episode!
