1915: Trans-sexed
The Evening Record – Feb 9, 1915 Lived Six Years in Trans-Sexed Attire: Girl Buried in Her “First Black Suit” (United Press) Chicago, Feb. 9. — Ida Weinstein, 26 years old, was buried yesterday in the first dress to clothe her body in six years. As “Ben Rosenstein” and the “husband” of Pauline Rosenstein with whom he lived for six years. Ida died in a pitifully furnished, small bedroom in the rear of the second floor of No. 2146 Ogden Avenue, the victim of tuberculosis. Her last gasping request to her “wife” and to her “wife’s” mother was that she be buried “in her first black suit.” Pauline Rosenstein is 26. She weepingly told the details of her life as Ida’s “wife,” whose real sex was not known here even by the wife’s mother, until the undertaker took charge of the remains. “Ida came to this country seven years ago.
