The panels makes visible the stories of those who boldly challenged gender conventions in the early 20th century; the history of healthcare for transgender people; the visibility and resources created by transgender heroes such as Sir Lady Java, Christine Jorgensen, and Reed Erickson; pre-Stonewall uprisings by gender variant individuals; the sacrifice and impact of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera; the resilient transgender youth redefining gender and representation; and transgender-led organizations that tirelessly advocate for transgender people in Los Angeles and the United States.
