Why this article may matter
Community significance
“1976: Transvestite = Transgender Community” may matter to community readers because it connects transgender identity and history with organizing, advocacy, or collective experience. Its discussion of community and organizing gives readers a concrete point of entry into the concerns and strategies represented in the article.
Historical significance
The article may have historical value because it explicitly interprets or preserves material concerning transgender identity and history. Published in 2012 by Cristan’s Research, it can be read both for the history it describes and as evidence of how community and organizing was framed at that moment.
Policy significance
