The vernacular of the day included the term transvestite and there was no term for a person one might now call a trans woman. From the evidence available it seems likely that Liddy would have seen herself this way had the conceptualisation been available (as per the research of Dr Bodie Ashton, see this video from The Museum of Jewish Heritage: [1] ) She seems to have fully adopted her female identity and lived in a female role full time in the mid 1930s. We cannot know for sure of course, but it seems appropriate that she be memorialized as 'transgender' and not simply homosexual, as transgender is a broad term that would typically embrace someone like her now. It is also vital that trans people (whatever term they used from the recently coined and basic vocabulary of the era) are remembered and honoured within the narrative of the Holocaust. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Girlfromthewoods (talk • contribs) 00:06, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
