Summary
Billy Tipton was a transgender jazz musician whose career spanned the 1930s through the 1970s, but this fact wasn't known until after his death in the late 1980s. At the time, his story was framed as that of an ambitious woman merely trying to get ahead in a male-dominated music scene, but by collaborating with trans artists, that story is correctly celebrated as that of a trans culture icon
