From Wikipedia
Frances Thompson (c. 1840 – 1876) was an American, formerly enslaved Black trans woman and anti-rape activist. She was one of the five Black women to testify before a congressional committee that investigated the Memphis massacre of 1866. She is the first known trans woman to testify before the United States Congress. Thompson and a housemate, Lucy Smith, were attacked by a white mob and were among many freedwomen who were raped during the massacre. In 1876, Thompson was arrested for "being a man dressed in women's clothing," leading to national news attention.
