Billy Tipton (1914–1989) was a gifted jazz musician & bandleader who lived privately as a transgender man. His story—sensationalized after his death—now stands as a testament to resilience & artistry. This #TransgenderHistoryMonth, we honor his courage & cultural impact.

Hey, y'all --

I didn't get the memo, somehow, that the doc on Billy Tipton has been on Criterion... and will be unavailable at the end of the month. It's on the "Leaving" list now.

So, I just started watching it. It's good.

Just sayin'.

😎👍

When your music is completely NOT lgbtqia+ in any way, because you're a stealth transgender man in 1955

Taking a Directing MFA, Silas co-wrote an almost-greenlit bio on trans jazz musician #BillyTipton. His 1-man show 'Thank you for Being Urgent' tells the pain of seeing it "fall thru the cracks". Guggenheim Fellowship opened TV directing tho & he was 1st #TransDirector on Transparent (3 episodes)
