Danish painter and trans pioneer Lili Ilse Elvenes (aka Lili Elbe) was BOTD in 1882. Her life was horribly misrepresented by #TomHooper’s film #TheDanishGirl starring cis-gendered actor #EddieRedmayne. #lilielbe #transhero #trans #bornonthisday

Lili Ilse Elvenes, better known as Lili Elbe, was a Danish painter and transgender woman, and among the early recipients of sex reassignment surgery. She was a successful painter under her birth name Einar Magnus Andreas Wegener. After transitioning in 1930, she changed her legal name to Lili Ilse Elvenes and stopped painting.
