Wikipedia, Apr. 8, 2014 (Lili Elbe (28 December 1882-13 September 1931) was an intersex person and one of the first identifiable recipients of sex reassignment surgery. Elbe was born in Denmark as Einar Mogens Wegener, presented as male, and was a successful artist under that name. She also presented as Lili, sometimes spelled Lily and publicly was introduced as Einar's sister. After transitioning, however, she made a legal name change and stopped painting)
