**Celebrate the publication of a new Arcadia Publishing book on *San Francisco’s Transgender District* by Rev. Dr. Megan Rohrer. Featuring over 200 images, this volume renders the Transgender District’s story in an unprecedented focus and detail, and enacts vital place-making by situating the District in this iconic, accessible series of pictorial neighborhood histories.**
Megan Rohrer, PhD and DMin, is a social justice influencer known for their advocacy with the homeless and LGBTQ communities who has been featured on Netflix's *Queer Eye*, *Cosmopolitan*, *People*, and other publications around the globe. His latest book for Arcadia Publishing's “Images of America” series tells the history of San Francisco's Transgender District with historic images from the 1880's through the present.
This iconic series shared pictorial histories of over 8,000 unique places. A feature in Arcadia’s “Images of America” is a right of passage in vernacular place-making, through which one’s (often unlikely) neighborhood or community manifests in a richly visual book situated in a prolific and impressive series. While San Francisco’s Tenderloin had its “Images of America” moment with Peter Field’s 2018 volume, Rev. Dr. Rohrer’s installment takes a different perspective, one that is especially timely and leverages this friendly picture book series to deliver some seriously underrepresented history. *San Francisco’s Transgender District* pays homage to the unique civic formations that are the city’s “[Cultural Districts](https://www.sf.gov/san-francisco-cultural-districts-program),” but more importantly depicts the depth and breadth of connection that the transgender community has in San Francisco and in specific geography of the “District.”
Just in time for California's official Transgender History Month, the Tenderloin Museum will host the official book launch party on Thursday, August 7th from 6:00 pm - 8 pm at Myrtle Alley, next to *The Compton’s Cafeteria Riot* venue at 835 Larkin St. Dr. Rohrer will share images from the book, reflecting the historical representation of trans and queer folx in San Francisco and discuss what we can learn today from our city’s history of trans advocacy. Join us at Myrtle Alley to make some history together.

This event is part of a series of monthly activations in Myrtle Alley timed to the [SF First Thursday Art Walk](https://www.sffirstthursday.org/) funded by SF Planning.
