Before We Were Trans: A History of Gender By Kit Heyam
MOT/2024/NDOTC/LEED/018
Tag I wrote 'Before We Were Trans' (2022) because our narrow, damaging standards of what makes someone 'really trans' were narrowing + damaging our history too. We can do trans history in an ethical, caring, anti-racist way. Conversations with other trans historians made me realise that.
