INSTAGRAM: Beloved trans activist Cecilia Gentili died Tuesday, her family announced. She was 52. Via GLAAD:

Cecilia Gentili (she/her) was a fierce activist, a dedicated advocate, a striking actress on the hit TV program Pose, and a sex worker. She did direct service through The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Center in New York and the APICHA (originally the Asian and Pacific Islander Coalition on HIV/AIDS) Community Health Center in New York. She co-founded the namesake COIN Clinic (Cecilia’s Occupational Inclusion Network ) at Callen-Lorde, and later was managing director of policy for the world-renowned GMHC (originally the Gay Men’s Health Crisis). Several years ago she founded Trans Equity Consulting and has collaborated with many major organizations on transgender and gender nonbinary rights. Cecilia is also a founding member of Decrim NY, a coalition working toward decriminalization, decarceration, and destigmatization of people in the sex trade. Cecilia’s memoir,  Faltas, was published in late 2022 by Little Puss Press, Inc, and won the American Library Association’s 2023 Stonewall Book Award for nonfiction. Her one-woman show Red Ink was slated to make a comeback at the Public Theater this April. Gentili was a leading voice among the hundreds of New York Times  contributors speaking out against the Times’ biased and inaccurate coverage of transgender people and their essential mainstream health care. Cecilia Gentili just celebrated her 52nd birthday, surrounded by friends, loved ones, and community.
