roofbeams:Evelyn “Jackie” Bross (left) and Catherine Barscz (right) at the Racine Avenue Police Station, Chicago, June 5, 1943. Both were arrested for violating the city’s anti-crossdressing ordinance, which was not fully eliminated until 1978. During the trial, Bross said they preferred to wear men’s clothing because it was “more comfortable than women’s clothes and handy for work.” They also said, “I wish I was a boy. I never did anything wrong. I just like to wear men’s clothes… [but] everyone knows I’m a woman.” [x] -- source link
