Christine Jorgensen spoke publicly about her transition in the early 1950s, living openly at great personal cost in a world that offered little understanding. Visibility, then as now, is about being seen as who you are, and insisting on that truth.

Highlighting again the ridiculousness of #neonazi attacks on #trans people, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1952 the #transition surgery of #ChristineJorgensen was front-page news. She underwent #GenderAffirmingCare in Denmark in 1951. This isn't new; fascists just manufacture outrage.

DYK some psychiatrists criticized Dr. Christian Hamburger for referring #ChristineJorgensen for surgery? They believed that it would have been better for “him” to forgo #SexChange & all “he” needed was long-term psychotherapy until “he” became comfortable w/his male sex organs.
Criticism of homosexuality In his 1962 book My Saber Is Bent, Paar wrote in a chapter titled "Fairies and Communists": "There used to be a time when it looked like the Communists were taking over show business. Now it's fairies. They operate a lot alike, actually; both have a tendency to colonize. Just as there used to be no such thing as one Communist in a play or movie, now there is no such thing as one fairy. Where you find one, you usually find a baker's dozen swishing around. ... When I hear that some fairy is producing or directing or acting in a play, I can often name some of the rest of the cast, even if I've never heard it... The poor darlings, as they sometimes call themselves, are everywhere in show business. The theater is infested with them and it's beginning to show the effects. Paar also lamented the negative effects of gay men in the fashion industry: "I hope that all red-blooded men will rally to my crusade to have girls look like girls again. If we show our determination I'm sure that women will throw off the tyranny of fairy designers." On February 11, 1960, during his address to the audience on the Tonight Show, Paar said, "I have turned down on this show so many people who are controversial or indelicate taste ... you can't sell product, you can't have people like you, and at the same time use them and bring on people with delicate problems, like, may I tell you, Christine Jorgensen has tried to get on this show ... no." In her book, "The Next Elvis - Searching for Stardom at Sun Records", author Barbara Barnes Sims recalls "late-night TV host Jack Paar was having a field day at her expense ..." In March 1973 during the run of Jack Paar Tonite, Paar addressed his remarks and challenged representatives of a pro-homosexual organization to appear on the show to explain why he "and other entertainers should not call homosexuals 'fairies,' 'dykes', and 'fags'."
I read his Wiki page. He was an avowed enemy of the LGBT community. Interesting refusal of trans woman #ChristineJorgensen he clearly wasn't up for learning personally or for enlightening audiences of things and issues not to his personal/network shared taste.
