This presentation examines some criteria Professor Davis has developed to judge whether cross-dressing in 80 vintage photos from Louise Lawrence Transgender Archive in Vallejo are an expression of transgender identity or something else entirely. Ms. Bob Davis, founder & director of the Louise Lawrence Transgender Archive, began writing about transgender history in the 1990s for transgender community publications and taught music at City College of San Fransisco for over 40 years.
