A deeper look into the affecting trans rights globally.
Three years before the famous events in New York, transgender women and drag queens in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district stood up against systemic police harassment. The riot at Gene Compton’s Cafeteria marked one of the first recorded instances of collective, physical resistance to the oppression of queer people in United States history.
