    ... at their home 2847 Dudley Ave, Bronx.

    It's wild how they used to casually print people's addresses in the newspaper. What a different time.

    Also, such a positive article! The newspaper celebrates Christine's transformation, even though it was published in 1952.

    I really think decades of transphobic propaganda in media sullied people to the idea of transition. Like, I think people found it weird or even gross in the past, but it took the social efforts of bigots actually thinking through the consequences to the conservative gender ideology for it to become as hated as it is now. I think a lot of modern gender relations are more constructed for our current time than we know.

    I like the bit about how her family and family friends agreed this was a good move when they heard about it. The article makes it sound like everyone was shocked but overall accepting. It's such an optimistic tone, like it's saying "look what science can do now! Isn't it wonderful?" And it is.
