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.

Does anyone have any methods for managing/coping with dysphoria? I can't transition any faster. I've already got girl clothes, people using my pronouns, voice training, hair removal, and a plan to start HRT.
It's just that it's been very acute lately on a visual level. I'm about to adopt @Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 's strategy of never looking in a mirror, but... I'm like super vain and can't pass a mirror without looking lol
Anyway, it just hurts, and I'm solution oriented, so I just kind of want to do something about it
others may have better advice but I can relate to the solution-oriented part. I generally try to just balance it out: too much dysphoria? not enough euphoria. then i go and do something that makes me feel pretty (whilst not looking in a mirror) like painting my nails
dysphoric episodes suck, I hope you feel better soon
