Transgender

Hey friends!

I've been beefing up on my trans history lately. I'm coming up with a list of dates, locations and occurrences of noteworthy trans-centered struggles, battles and uprisings. Can you help me come up with more?

Here's what I have so far (heavily skewed towards the US, but I'd love to see entries from all over the world)...

• 1933 – Nazis burn the library of Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Research, and destroy the institute. Berlin, Germany
• 1959 – The Cooper Do-nuts Riot occurs at Cooper's Do-nuts in Los Angeles, US; rioters were arrested by LAPD.[50] Transgender women, lesbian women, drag queens, and gay men riot, one of the first LGBTQ uprisings in the US.[51] It is viewed by some historians as the first modern LGBT uprising in the United States.
• 1966 – The Compton's Cafeteria Riot occurred in August 1966 by transgender women and Vanguard members in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco. This incident was one of the first recorded transgender riots in United States history, preceding the more famous 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City by three years.
• 1969 – The Stonewall riots occur in New York City.
• 1973 – At the 1973 New York City Pride March, Sylvia Rivera speaks out after a flyers were distributed by a critical queer faction opposing performances by drag queens causing an angry disturbance (until Bette Midler, who heard of the disturbance on the radio in her Greenwich Village apartment, arrived, took the microphone, and began singing "Friends"), leading to the dissolving of Marsha P. Johnson's short-lived organization Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR).
• 2021 - wide scale banning of books featuring queer and gender affirming content across US libraries and schools
• 2023 – Montana House Rep Zooey Zephyr barred from MT state house floor, preventing her from fully representing Seat 31 on behalf of her constituency. In response, she voted remotely from a hallway bench outside the official chambers.
• 2025 – US Executive Order 14168 instructs US agencies to deny the existence of transgender people and discriminate against them, leading to a multitude of legal challenges.
