Anne Ogborn (born 1959) is a transgender rights activist from Salina, Kansas. According to Patrick Califia she "should be credited as a forerunner of transgender direct action groups."[1] She is a software engineer[2] known for her contributions to SWI-Prolog.[3]

Transgender activism[edit]

Ogborn was an early practitioner of direct action in support of transgender rights.[1] For instance, in 1991, transsexual woman Nancy Burkholder was expelled from the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, a preeminent lesbian event. Ogborn coordinated a direct action, Camp Trans, to protest the transphobia of the festival leaders.[1]

The first transsexual organization that Ogborn founded was KCGS, the Kansas City Gender Society. Ogborn started Transgender Nation,[4] the transgender focus group of Queer NationinSan Francisco which included a new transgender caucus to fight transphobia in local debates.[5] In 1993, Ogborn and Transgender Nation members protested the American Psychiatric Association's listing of transsexualism as a psychiatric disorder, and medical colonization of transsexual people's lives.[6]

Ogborn was an early participant and organizer of the New Womens Conference, a retreat for post-operative transsexual women. She edited its newsletter, "Rights of Passage", which would later become the Transsexual News Telegraph.[7] Her involvement with the New Womens Conference informed much of her later work.

Ogborn joined the Hijra community[8] in 1994, claiming to be the first westerner to join the religious out-group.[9]

She continues her activism for transgender and human rights.[5]
