Biography

Gila Goldstein was born in Turin and assigned male at birth. After immigrating to Israel, she lived in Haifa. Goldstein realized she was transgender in 1960 and changed her name to Gila. She engaged in survival sex in Haifa before having gender affirming surgery in Belgium in 1960 – the first officially documented gender affirming surgery for an Israeli. In the early 1970s, Goldstein lived in Europe and worked as a dancer and striptease performer. When she returned to Israel, she performed in nightclubs and bars, including Bar 51. She served as the prototype of one of the characters in Bar 51 directed by Amos Guttman.^{[citation needed]}

Goldstein recorded several songs and performed them in "Allenby 58" club in 1990s. In 1998, together with Nino Orsiano she had a music program on the local radio.^{[citation needed]}

She was awarded the Israeli LGBT community prize in 2003 and Miami LGBT Film Festival Award for the best supporting actress for her role in Good Boys in 2005. In 2010, a documentary film was made about her life.[4][5] An organization that provides assistance to transgender people was named after her in 2011.^{[citation needed]} In 2015, in recognition of her service to the community, she had the honor to go at the head of the Tel Aviv pride parade.[6]

Death

Gila Goldstein died of a stroke on 5 February 2017.[7] Her death was announced, in some places, as the death of a "male" named "Ilan Ronen", which was the name on Goldstein's ID card. Friends said Goldstein invented the name for bureaucratic reasons. In response, Goldstein's great-nephew said that no government record could change the fact that Goldstein was always a woman, and the family promised that her grave would display the name "Gila Goldstein".[8] The funeral was attended by actors, politicians, and representatives of the LGBT community.
