Jennie June
Jennie June was a Victorian and Edwardian era writer and activist for the rights of people who didn't conform to gender and sexual norms. He was one of the earliest transgender individuals to publish an autobiography in the United States. June published his first autobiography, The Autobiography of an Androgyne in 1918, and his second The Female-Impersonators in 1922. June also wrote an unpublished third autobiography in 1921, which was discovered in 2010. June's goal in writing these books was to help create an accepting environment for young adults who don't conform to gender and sexual norms, because that was what he would have wanted for himself, and he wanted to prevent youth from committing suicide. June had formed the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, along with other androgynes who frequented Paresis Hall in New York City. The organization was formed in the hopes "to unite for defense against the world's bitter persecution," and to show that it was natural to be gender and sex variant.


 * Born: 1874 - ?
 * Nationality: USA
 * Pronouns: he/him, which he consistently used for himself in his own writing
 * Gender: Jennie June self-identified as a "androgyne", "invert", "urning," "bisexual" (in the sense of being both male and female), and "fairie," which were contemporary terms for gender and sexual variance. June wrote of feeling like a combination of male and female, and of his practice of alternating between these two gender expressions. During his twenties, he transitioned by changing his name, and being castrated, both of which he had wanted from early childhood.

I don’t really — I think my energies are really all over the place. Any opportunity I have to break down stereotypes of the binary, I am down for it, I’m here for it. I think that a lot of times gender is used to separate and divide. It’s this social construct that I don’t really feel like I fit into the way I used to."
