Cecilia Gentili, a fierce advocate for transgender people and sex workers and a powerful legislative lobbyist as well as an author and a bawdy, searing performer died on Feb. 3 at her home in the Marine Park section of Brooklyn. She was 52.
Ms. Gentili often joked that she had a master's degree in being an immigrant, a sex worker, a trans woman and an addict. She was an expert because she had lived all of those things.
