Today in the combination of #LGBThistorymonth and #BlackHistoryMonth, let's talk about how Louis Farrakhan Sr (wiki: formerly known as Louis X, an American religious leader and political activist who heads the Nation of Islam) also wrote and performed "Is she is, or is she ain't"
A song "about" or inspired by Christine Jorgensen. 
Commentary from Black on Both Sides.
The song is also featured in this (classic) Tom and Jerry sketch. Tom and Jerry, like other cartoons, were constantly cross dressing and gendered/ungendered (and also quite rightly often come with a racism warning).
I don't have a conclusion to this thread, but its absolutely fascinating
