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. She published her first autobiography, ''The Autobiography of an Androgyne'' in 1918, and her second ''The Female-Impersonators'' in 1922. She also wrote an unpublished third autobiography in 1921, which was discovered in 2010. Her goal in writing her books were to help create an accepting environment for young adults who don't conform to gender and sexual norms, because that was what she would have wanted for herself, and she wanted to prevent youth from committing suicide.<ref name="Meyerowitz 2010">Meyerowitz, J.

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.<ref>Katz, Jonathan Ned.
