3. They do not have to be sports stars to be brave,

I remember her well and I was just 11 at the time.... She was very brave

I was just double checking the spelling of her last name.

4. Christine Jorgensen.

I remember her when I was a kid. She was the first one I can recall who spoke up for trans people.

I thought she was fearless.

6. Christine Jorgensen

I was so impressed with her bravery that I never forgot her, like I said I was 11 years old in 1952 when I heard about her via my parents talking .Everyone was so shocked back then, my mom never said anything negative about anything or anyone ever, so I never had any negative ideas in my head, maybe that was my mom's intent so I would become an adult with my own opinions, and I did.

7. That's old people stuff

Caitlin Jenner is the firstest person EVER to be publicly trans within the living memory of anyone who matters.
