Christine Jorgensen Poster

$5.00 each
$3.00 each for 10 or more

WOMAN? MAN? TRANSGENDER? "Christine Jorgensen (1926-1989) was arguably the most famous person in the world for a few short years nearly half a century ago, though her name is not widely remembered today. At the dawn of the 21st century it seems almost quaint that Jorgensen should have provoked such widespread attention simply by having the shape of her genitals surgically altered one late-November morning in Copenhagen in 1952. But she did, and as a consequence of doing so she helped introduce the word 'transsexual' into the American vocabulary." - Quote by Susan Stryker (black and green, 11x17)
