@israe05.cr: “Coccinelle” born Jacqueline Dufresnoy (1931–2006), was an iconic French vedette and activist, widely recognized as the first person in France to become publicly known for undergoing gender-affirming surgery in the 1950s. At a time when trans lives were heavily marginalized, her courage in living authentically brought unprecedented visibility to the trans community, making her a powerful symbol of trans liberation, visibility, and activism.
