August 2020 from Archival Silence to Screaming Queens: Reconstructing the Compton's Cafeteria Riot
August 2020 From Archival Silence to Screaming Queens: Reconstructing the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot By Isaac Fellman & Susan Stryker On an August evening in 1966, three years before the Stonewall riots in New York City, the patrons of the Compton’s Cafeteria on Taylor and Turk Streets in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district fought back against police harassment. Little documentary evidence survives of this key moment in transgender history. The photograph above from the GLBT Historical Society’s archives is an extremely rare still of the interior of the Compton’s location in question, and the exact date the riot occurred has never been determined. Our archives contain much of the documentation that does survive, which enabled historian and former GLBT Historical Society executive director Susan Stryker to research the event in the early 2000s. Together with Victor Silverman, Stryker produced the Emmy Award-winning 2005 documentary Screaming Queens, which succeeded in bringing the riot to greater public awareness. Our special program on August 5 features a screening of Screaming Queens and a conversation with Stryker. Reference archivist Isaac Fellman, who has been working extensively with our transgender-related collections, interviewed Stryker about how she uncovered the legacy of Compton’s. The story of Compton’s exposes gaps in archives; it exists in memory, but official sources, records and contemporary news reporting are scarce. Did this scarcity influence your process and philosophy as a historian? The scarcity of traditional primary-document sources really did require me to embrace creative and nontraditional research methodologies. One of the most important strategies was simply walking in the neighborhood, studying San Francisco’s urban history, using the GLBT Historical Society’s sites database to map historic trans-serving bars and SROs, and reading a lot of spatial and architectural theory. -
Trans Inclusivity 101
TRANS INCLUSIVITY 101 By Kalliope R. Dalto Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Nonbinary people are nonbinary. “Trans” is inclusive of all ways of experiencing gender that varies from the gender one was assigned at birth ● Binary: trans men and trans women ● Nonbinary, including: genderfluid, agender, genderqueer, bigender, androgynous - and more! ● Transmasculine and transfeminine: indicates directionality, alignment with a gendered presentation but not necessarily a gender identity. ● People who never experience ● People are assigned a gender incongruity with the gender at birth based on perceived sex assigned at birth are characteristics. cisgender, or cis. ● People who are assigned ● Cis is an important word female at birth (AFAB) may because it reframes the way grow up to realize they are men, we talk about trans folks as or nonbinary. ‘other’ – rather than ‘trans’ and ‘normal.’ ● People who are assigned male at birth (AMAB) may grow up to ● Simply two different ways of realize they are women, or experiencing your body and nonbinary. your gender in the world. Nonbinary Genders ● Some people aren’t men or women ● There isn’t one right way to be nonbinary – some nonbinary people need medical transition, some don’t. Some change their names or pronouns, some don’t. ● Nonbinary people can have relationships to maleness or femaleness and do not necessarily aspire to androgyny ● They/them/theirs is a common pronoun used by nonbinary people, but it is not ‘the nonbinary pronoun.’ Some nonbinary people use she/her or he/him, and some use neopronouns like ze/zer or ze/hir or ey/em/eirs. -
Gender Identity • Expression
In New York City, it’s illegal to discriminate on the basis of gender identity and gender expression in the workplace, in public spaces, and in housing.

INCLUSIVE STORIES Although scholars of LGBTQ history have generally been inclusive of women, the working classes, and gender-nonconforming people, the narrative that is found in mainstream media and that many people think of when they think of LGBTQ history is overwhelmingly white, middle-class, male, and has been focused on urban communities. While these are important histories, they do not present a full picture of LGBTQ history. To include other communities, we asked the authors to look beyond the more well-known stories. Inclusion within each chapter, however, isn’t enough to describe the geographic, economic, legal, and other cultural factors that shaped these diverse histories. Therefore, we commissioned chapters providing broad historical contexts for two spirit, transgender, Latino/a, African American Pacific Islander, and bisexual communities. -
Disparities in Childhood Abuse Between Transgender and Cisgender Adolescents Brian C
Disparities in Childhood Abuse Between Transgender and Cisgender Adolescents Brian C. Thoma, PhD,a Taylor L. Rezeppa, BS,a Sophia Choukas-Bradley, PhD,b Rachel H. Salk, PhD,a Michael P. Marshal, PhDa BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Transgender adolescents (TGAs) exhibit disproportionate levels of abstract mental health problems compared with cisgender adolescents (CGAs), but psychosocial processes underlying mental health disparities among TGAs remain understudied. We examined self-reported childhood abuse among TGAs compared with CGAs and risk for abuse within subgroups of TGAs in a nationwide sample of US adolescents. METHODS: Adolescents aged 14 to 18 completed a cross-sectional online survey (n 5 1836, including 1055 TGAs, 340 heterosexual CGAs, and 433 sexual minority CGAs). Participants reported gender assigned at birth and current gender identity (categorized as the following: cisgender males, cisgender females, transgender males, transgender females, nonbinary adolescents assigned female at birth, nonbinary adolescents assigned male at birth, and questioning gender identity). Lifetime reports of psychological, physical, and sexual abuse were measured. RESULTS: Seventy-three percent of TGAs reported psychological abuse, 39% reported physical abuse, and 19% reported sexual abuse. Compared with heterosexual CGAs, TGAs had higher odds of psychological abuse (odds ratio [OR] 5 1.84), physical abuse (OR 5 1.61), and sexual abuse (OR 5 2.04). Within separate subgroup analyses, transgender males and nonbinary adolescents assigned female at birth had higher odds of reporting psychological abuse than CGAs. CONCLUSIONS: In a nationwide online sample of US adolescents, TGAs had elevated rates of psychological, physical, and sexual abuse compared with heterosexual CGAs. Risk for psychological abuse was highest among TGAs assigned female at birth. -

A Different Kind of Closet: Queer Censorship in U.S. LGBTQ+ Movements since World War II By James Martin Abstract: Since World War II, there has been an increased visibility of LGBTQ+ communities in the United States; however, this visibility has noticeably focused on “types” of queer people – mainly white, middle class, cisgender gays and lesbians. History remembers the 1969 Stonewall Inn riots as the catalyst that launched the movement for gay rights and brought forth a new fight for civil and social justice. This paper analyzes the restrictions, within LGBTQ+ communities, that have been placed on transpersons and gender nonconforming people before and after Stonewall. While the riots at the Stonewall Inn were demonstrative of a fight ready to be fought, there were many factors that contributed to the push for gay rights. -
Ethical Trans-Feminism: Berlin's Transgender Individuals' Narratives As Contributions to Ethics of Vegetarian Eco- Feminism
ETHICAL TRANS-FEMINISM: BERLIN’S TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS’ NARRATIVES AS CONTRIBUTIONS TO ETHICS OF VEGETARIAN ECO- FEMINISMS By Anja Koletnik Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender Studies Supervisor: Assistant Professor Eszter Timár CEU eTD Collection Second Reader: Professor Allaine Cerwonka Budapest, Hungary 2014 Abstract This thesis will explore multi-directional ethical and political implications of meat non- consumption and cisgender non-conformity. My argument will present how applying transgender as an analytical category to vegetarian eco-feminisms, can be contributive in expanding ethical and political solidarity within feminist projects, which apply gender identity politics to their conceptualizations and argumentations. I will outline the potential to transcend usages of gender identity politics upon a cisnormative canon of vegetarian eco-feminisms lead by Carol J. Adams’ The Sexual Politics of Meat (1990). Adams’s canon of vegetarian eco-feminisms appropriates diet as a central resource of their political projects, which contest speciesism and cis-sexism. Like Adams’ canon, my analysis will consider diet as always having political connotations and implications, both for individuals and their embodiments, within broader socio-political realms. Alongside diet, transgender as an analytical category will be employed within analysis, due to its potential of exposing how genders as social categories and constructs are re-formed. My analysis will be based on narrative interviews, which will explore the multi-directional ethical and political implications of meat non-consumption and cisgender non-conformity among members of Berlin’s transgender / cisgender non-conforming and meat non-consuming subcultures.
