Chloe Dzubilo, artist and AIDS and transgender activist, died February 18 in New York City. She was fifty years old. She was apparently over-medicated and fell on subway tracks.
Chloe studied art at the Parsons School of Design and received an associates degree in gender studies from CUNY-City College in 1999.

Ain't nothing like knowin' what it feels like...when you slip thru the cracks of society, political niceties, political correctness, health care, housing, employment, wealth, shoe stores, subways, family outings, holidays, systems, systems. Systems. Ain't nothing like knowing these facts deep in one's bones. When you're transsexual. Ain't nothing like knowing triumph over all of these adversities.
