The Friend’s story is fascinating, surprising, and a reminder that trans people have always been here. Historian Scott Larson walks us through the Friend’s life and what it tells us about trans history. This week’s Trans Joy features historian Cassius Adair, who is writing a book about trans people and computer history.
