Historian Peter Boag emphasized that the audience's turnout, despite a rainy night, showcased courage in supporting the importance of telling transgender stories.
Transgender identity is central to the American ideal, according to Boag's exhibit. It highlights that the core of American identity has been shaped against the backdrop of transgender experiences.
The exhibit uses archival research to highlight historical figures like Dr. Alan Hart, aiming to rewrite LGBTQ+ narratives that have often been erased from history.
Boag's work demonstrates that many stories of people living outside assigned genders have been historically overlooked, advocating for a more inclusive understanding of American history.
