Joanne Marie Conte (October 18, 1933 – January 27, 2013) was the first openly transgender person to be elected to a city council in the U.S. She served on Arvada's City Council from 1991-1995. In March 1993, Conte made a public announcement revealing that she was transgender as a preemptive strike against Westword, which had been planning to publish the story on their front page. Following her short-lived political career, she became a radio host on 850 KOA, but quit after only a few episodes due to transmisogynistic advertising for her broadcast.〔 She then went on to work as an investigative reporter for KGNU Radio.,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://kgnu.org/ht/talk.html )〕 ==Early life== Joanne Conte was born in 1933 in Rochester, N.Y., where doctors determined that her sex was male. She attended Arvada High School, and then went on to serve as a military Morse code operator for the U.S. Army and Air Force during the Korean War.〔 Conte came out as transgender in the 1970s and legally changed her name before undergoing Gender Confirmation Surgery in 1972, which caused her family to disown her. Conte first became involved with political organizing on a small-scale in the 1980s when she organized efforts to keep Arvada's City Council from allowing a trash transfer station to be established in a neighborhood near her own.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joanne Conte」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
