Slightly off-topic: Zelda Suplee, later Reed Erickson's office manager, the person who actually ran the Erickson Educational Foundation (EEF), the first US organization for transsexuals, had managed nudist camps in the 1950-1960s. From this she became the first full-frontal nude in Playboy (in black-and-white).

It is currently being announced by the Playboy publicity department that " Ines Rau is Playboy’s first (sic) transgender Playmate"! This despite Ines' previous appearance in Playboy in 2014, and despite Amanda Lear, Roberta Close, Caroline Cossey and Vittoria Schisano. This false claim is being repeated uncritically by both the mainstream press and by trans bloggers.
