She was involved in the 1966 Gene Compton’s Cafeteria Riot in 1966 in the Tenderloin, an event that preceded the Stonewall riots. She is articulate about her history and what transgender people have had to go through to live and form community in this city for close to 50 years. She had surgery in 1974 and is a 100% transsexual woman.

San Francisco Supervisor Bevin Dufty and San Francisco-based State Senator Mark Leno speak about transgender legislation that each initiated and pushed hard to successful passage, to rousing ovations.

Joshua Klipp, a popular transgender singer and dancer, performs with his dance company, Freeplay Dance Crew, along with special guest guitarist Coyote Grace.
