Googled the other day who was the first trans-woman on estrogen supplements but the information was not available. Does anybody here know who it was?

I was just feeling curious. I like knowin that kind of stuff.

Quote from: A Brief history of TranssexualismIn the Spring of 1930, Lili Elbe (formerly the Dutch painter, Einar Wegener), referred by Hirschfeld, had SRS under Dr. Gohrbandt in Dresden. She died the following year of complications from the surgery, but not before being heralded as the world's first transsexual. Dutch newspapers began reporting the news at the end of 1930, and her posthumous autobiography, Man into Woman (under the pseudonym of Niels Hoyer), was published two years after her death.

Janet, that link tells me that the first medical estrogens were introduced in 1938, so I don't think Lili was given any of those
