K (189?–?) Soviet pioneer.
From Kazan, Tartarstan, USSR, K was diagnosed as a ‘transvestite’ in 1937.
She was given permission by the People’s Court to wear female clothing, her identity papers were changed to her female name, and her name was removed from the military recruitment rolls.
She was featured in a 1957 gynaecology textbook.

Listening to my mom go on and on about how queer and trans folk need to be thrown into mental institutions because "they want to get extra privileges that 'normal' people don't even have to accommodate their disgusting lifestyles" and other things like "they're trying to rewrite our language by saying we're not allowed to say things like queer or [insert slur], like they're just words grow up!". Like please , I am begging you for the sake of my mental health
Yea, I'm fine, it's a temporary living arrangement but no idea how long I have to put up with it so. I just try to zone out of it and listen to music or something and avoid interactions with her because I've been starting to think if me coming out a couple of years ago was a mistake because of this, when I originally did it she seemed fine with it which was surprising because I didn't really know what to expect because I'd never heard her go on these kinds of tirades before. I guess something flipped in her brain and now she's just showing her true colors.
