Harry Allen (trans man)

early Pacific Northwest transman

Harry Allen (1882-27 December 1922[1]) was a transgender man who was written about in newspaper headlines between 1900 and 1922. He was born Nell Pickerell, but was known as Harry Livingstone from 1900 until 1911, and as Harry Allen from 1911 until his death in 1922. He had several female lovers; one committed suicide,[2] and another attempted suicide.[3][4] The woman who had committed suicide was treated as two different suicide victims in the media, as she had used different names for herself in the past.[5]
Newspapers wrote about his crimes such as prostitution and drinking alcohol. He got a lot of media attention because he was seen as a woman pretending to be a man.[6]
