Being one of the older ladies here in the forum I was thinking back on all those that were the "Tip of the Spear", so to speak, in the community over my lifetime.
The first I remember was Christine Jorgensen who had her surgery in 1954 and became the first person widely acknowledged to have had a sex change, as it was called then.
Later on there was Dr. Renee Richards in 1975.
In 2001 Jennifer Leitham, the acclaimed Jazz bass player and member of the Tonight Show band under Doc Severinsen.
Following these icons were the Wachowskis, Lana and Lilly.
All of this brings me to a tv show that we love.
POSE
It's described as
Pose is a drama spotlighting the legends, icons and ferocious house mothers of New York?s underground ball culture, a movement that first gained notice in the late 1980s. Making television history, Pose features the largest cast of transgender actors in series regular roles, including Mj Rodriguez, Dominique Jackson, Indya Moore and Hailie Sahar, who co-star alongside Tony Award? winner and Golden Globe? nominee Billy Porter, Angel Bismark Curiel, Dyll?n Burnside, Sandra Bernhard and Jason Rodriguez. The Golden Globe-nominated drama also features the largest recurring cast of LGBTQ actors ever for a scripted series.
It stars 5 transgender actresses and a great supporting cast. It's an intensely emotional show and I suggest that if you haven't been a fan that you stream this series and become one.
It's in its 3rd and final season and last night after the show there was another breakout moment. Lexus aired a commercial for its IS350. Starring in that commercial was Mj Rodriguez (Blanca) from POSE.
Watch for the commercial and I urge you all to watch the show.
Hopefully this won't be the last ad to star one of our sisters, but will be a moment in time that leads to further acceptance for all of us.
