1951, Barbara Buick sells her story to News of the World, which publishes it under the headline "Sex-Change Girl Barbara Plans Gretna Wedding."
1958 Coccinelle embarks on what can only be called a media blitz promoting her just-completed sex change surgery.
1962, Georgina Turtle gets married, leading to press coverage outing her; she'd been legally recognized as a woman for two years already.

Having difficulty pinning down dates for press coverage of Chevaliere d'Eon. She died in 1810 and her autopsy was published the same year, but she was in the news as early as 1777. It's just that "the news" didn't archive this far back, so pinning down specifics is hella tricky.
