Previously presented as part of a seminar at Duke University Law School in 2017 and ’18 and at the Keystone Conference, this presentation uses the legal landscape over time as a backdrop for the changing response of transgendered persons to institutional repression and covers historical events including the Civil War, the era of cross-dressing balls, the Pansy Era, the riots at Cooper Donuts and Compton Cafeteria, the sit-in at Deweys and then the response to the police raid at Stonewall.
