April Ashley and Coccinelle

Two of my favorite larger than life early transsexual women are April Ashley and Coccinelle. Both are significant to trans history. I was reading through the Ashley's hilarious biography again and had to share a passage:

    A few months before the Italian tour, Coccinelle had vanished. When she reappeared she was smirking her head off. What had changed?  Coccinelle was in no mood to keep her secret. She threw off her clothes, fell backwards on to the sofa with her legs in the air and wide apart, and pointed between then with a long carmine fingernail. 'Now, M'Lady, what do you thin of THAT!"
