Essential The Locker Room's Random Thoughts

Cathay Williams is commonly known as “The First African-American female soldier to enlist and the only documented to serve in the United States Army ‘posing’ as a man named William Cathay”, however Cathay was actually apart of Black Trans History.

Cathay was born into slavery in Independence, MO and worked for a wealthy planter until their death, which occurred about the time the Civil War broke out. After Union soldiers freed Cathay, they began working as a paid servant. They traveled with Union Army until the war was over. He liked military life and wanting to be financially independent, in November 1866 enlisted as William Cathay. Because a medical exam wasn’t required at the time, they were able to join Company A of the 38th United States Infantry. The 38th Infantry later became known as the Buffalo Soldiers, the all-Black cavalry and infantry units that saw action in the Indian wars, the Spanish-American War, and World War I.

Only Cathay’s cousin and a friend knew Cathay’s true sex. On October 1, 1867 Cathay arrived at Fort Cummings, NM with Company A and spent the next few months protecting miners and wagon trains from Apache attacks. Eventually Cathay became ill, and once the post doctor discovered that they were female bodied, they were discharged on October 14, 1868.

It is the 1950s. Jet Magazine centers on a 26 year old professional female illusionist and shake dancer from Pittsburgh whose birth name was Charles Robert Brown but later changed it to Carlett Angianlee Brown.

Carlett was in a relationship with a 24 year old US Army sergeant stationed in Germany named Eugene Martin. She’d served in the Navy, and during her service time was checked out for an issue with recurring monthly bleeding through her rectal area.

The medical exam revealed that she was intersex and had some feminine plumbing. The surgeons wanted to remove it, but she declined to have that done and opted for SRS instead.

In the process of weighing her SRS options with three surgeons in various countries, she discovered that the laws of those countries at the time didn’t allow foreign nationals to obtain SRS.

Dr. Christian Hamburger, the endocrinologist who supervised Christine Jorgensen’s transition, advised Carlett that if she gave up her US citizenship she could have it done in Denmark. Germany’s then justice minister advised Brown that if became a German resident and took the steps to become a German citizen, she could have it performed there as well.

So Carlett decided to do just that. She applied for her US passport and made arrangements to travel to Bonn, Germany in August 1953 and meet Dr. Hamburger there for her initial checkup before having SRS.

Carlett’s game plan once she completed SRS was to get married to Sgt. Eugene Martin.

“I just want to become a woman as quickly as possible, that’s all. I’ll become a citizen of any country that will allow me the treatment that I need and be operated on,” she said at the time.

Fast forward to June 25 issue. Carlett has now traveled to Boston and signed papers at the Danish consulate renouncing her US citizenship. She’s doing some bookings in the area to help pay for her looming August 2 overseas trip and even hit Filene’s to shop for her wedding dress.

She now has her US passport with her new name of Carlett Angianlee on it and all systems are go to become the ‘First Negro Sex Change’.

Then fate intervened. Crossdressing back in the 50’s could earn you a trip to jail, and the Boston po-po’s promptly arrested and jailed her overnight for doing so as the July 9 issue reported. Carlett was still undeterred and was still planning to leave for Denmark and her date with history.

She then postponed her departure in order to get a feminizing face lift in New York with Dr. George J.B. Weiss, as the August 6 issue reported. It even mentioned that Carlett’s face lift was going to cost $500 dollars.

Then she was hit with the news that she was ordered not to leave the United States until $1200 in back taxes were paid. The October 15th issue reported that she ended up taking a $60 a week cook’s job at Iowa State’s Pi Kappa frat house that a friend helped her get in order to earn the money to pay off those back taxes.

Armpit hair is the one thing that will turn me off from a chick completely. No matter what she looks like. Something about it is just so unsettling.

I've never come across a woman with armpit hair

 

[全能の神]

Yes. I saw you pick your nose in public.
