Queer history fact: Coccinelle(1931-2006) said:
“I was the first French person to have a sex-change. Incredible, but true. It meant I could no longer be arrested by the vice squad for impersonating a man.”
She was able to become one of the first transgender film actresses. She married a sports journalist named Francis Bonnet in 1960. Their church wedding made legal and religious history. She remembered her first marriage, saying:
"The only requirement was that I had to be baptised again as Jacqueline."
This was not just a personal development, though. It was one that opened the doors for all the transgender people who came after her. Though the two divorced shortly after, the impact of this wedding was not soon forgotten. Jacqueline would go on to marry two more times, her final husband being a fellow activist Thierry Wilson.

I wanted to draw Naruto characters with miraculous, so here’s Sakura Haruno with the Ladybug miraculous
Her hero name would be Coccinelle
Who should I draw next? Naruto with the Fox miraculous? Or Sasuke with the Black Cat miraculous?
(also, for reference, this would be part 1 Sakura, so she would be 13 here, I might draw Shippuden Sakura as well with a better suit, but only after I draw Sasuke and Naruto first. I’ll probably end up drawing all of them as part 1 first, and then a Shippuden version after)
