Lili Ilse Elvenes, better known as Lili Elbe (28 December 1882 – 13 September 1931), was a Danish transgender woman and one of the first identifiable〔Hirschfeld, Magnus. ''Chirurgische Eingriffe bei Anomalien des Sexuallebens: Therapie der Gegenwart'', pp. 67, 451–455〕 recipients of sex reassignment surgery.〔(Lili Elbe ). andrejkoymasky.com. 17 May 2003〕 Elbe was born Einar Magnus Andreas Wegener〔Meyer, Sabine (2015), »Wie Lili zu einem richtigen Mädchen wurde« – Lili Elbe: Zur Konstruktion von Geschlecht und Identität zwischen Medialisierung, Regulierung und Subjektivierung, p. 15, pp. 312-313.〕 and was a successful artist under that name. She also presented as Lili, sometimes spelled Lily, and was publicly introduced as Einar's sister. After transitioning, however, she made a legal name change to Lili Ilse Elvenes and stopped painting. Elbe's year of birth is sometimes stated as 1886. This appears to be from a book about her, which has some facts changed to protect the identities of the persons involved. Factual references to Gerda Gottlieb's life indicate that the 1882 date is correct since they clearly married while at college in 1904.〔(She and She: The Marriage of Gerda and Einar Wegener ). The Copenhagen Post. 3 July 2000〕 It is highly likely that Elbe was an intersex person, though it is disputed by some. == Marriage and modelling == Elbe met Gerda Gottlieb at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, and they married in 1904, when she was 21 and Gottlieb 19.〔 The two of them worked as illustrators, with Elbe specializing in landscape paintings, while Gottlieb illustrated books and fashion magazines. They both traveled through Italy and France, eventually settling in Paris in 1912, where Elbe could live openly as a woman, and Gottlieb could be actively lesbian.〔 Elbe received the Neuhausens prize in 1907 and exhibited at Kunstnernes Efterårsudstilling (the Artists Fall Exhibition), at the Vejle Art Museum, and in the Saloon and Salon d'Automme in Paris. She is represented at Vejle Art Museum in Denmark.〔(The Arts and Transgender ). renaissanceblackpool.org〕 Elbe started dressing in women's clothes one day filling in for Gottlieb's absentee model; she was asked to wear stockings and heels so her legs could substitute for those of the model. Elbe felt surprisingly comfortable in the clothing.〔 Over time, Gottlieb became famous for her paintings of beautiful women with haunting almond-shaped eyes dressed in chic fashions. In 1913, the unsuspecting public was shocked to discover that the model who had inspired Gottlieb's depictions of petite femmes fatales was in fact Gottlieb's spouse, "Elbe".〔 In the 1920s and 1930s, Elbe regularly presented as a woman, attending various festivities and entertaining guests in her house. One of the things she liked to do was disappear, wearing her modeling fashions into the streets of Paris in the throngs of revelers during the Carnival.〔(Gerda Wegener ). get2net.dk〕 Elbe was introduced by Gottlieb as Einar Wegener's sister when she was dressed in female attire.〔 Only her closest friends knew once she had transitioned. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lili Elbe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
