A lot of the LGBTQ community of that generation died during the AIDS epidemic...
I went through the video again and was looking at the skull photo since I began wondering about her teeth.. I took a still of the video.. its not great maybe someone else can take a better one.. anyway.. I noticed her top teeth on the side profile looks bucked or protrudes.. I also noticed that she is missing her right front tooth but no mention of that on namus…
Several comments (following each video) are from people who once knew her, ask if Canary is still alive or not.I found on one of the videos that Canary Conn went by the name Denise Conn. Canary was probably her stage name.
Should we make a thread for Canary Conn?
That is why I am asking.It’s a good thought, but the problem is—what if Canary Conn dropped into obscurity deliberately?
I saw that. I am still not finding any signs of life from her.Several comments (following each video) are from people who once knew her, ask if Canary is still alive or not.
There should still be *some* kind of a record of her I would think.It’s a good thought, but the problem is—what if Canary Conn dropped into obscurity deliberately?
Typo fix:I read an article last night about a trans woman named Allison Washington that transitioned in the 80's and was around Julie's age. She made me think of Julie. Her mother was open to her choosing her sexual identity (in the 60's!) but when she stayed with her dad at age 14 he wouldn't allow it. He would beat her for so calling 'prancing around'. She was forced back to living as a male. He kicked her out of the house at 17. She found solace in theater for the meantime. She didn't even know what trans was actually! She just thought 'she was mad'. It wasn't until she saw a pamphlet in a doctors office about gender dysmorphia that it started to make sense. She got full reassignment starting in 1988 and details how hard it was to find someone (a doctor/trans support groups). Had to make many, many calls. She was even a part of a support group for trans women. She said up until then she had never seen a trans person before. And the first time she ever heard the word transgender was in 2016. She had always heard the term transsexuals before then. She even gets into the troubles of dating cisgender men. She said she passes as a born woman so she hasn't had any problems, but never tells her relationships about being born male because of how people react. I found that interesting. I have mentioned the trans panic defense they still use in court before. She also talked about after transitioning you had to disappear basically. The past was top secret almost. You never talked about it. You started over completely as the transitioned gender.
The article I read was her interview with Cracked.com. Below is a list of all her articles.
