description
Histories of the Transgender Child corrects misconceptions that trans children came into existence in the 21st century. Quite the contrary, Gill-Peterson shows the long history of trans children at the center of sexological research since the late 19th century. Histories of the Transgender Child makes clear that this long history is shared by both trans and intersex children. Conceptually rich, Gill-Peterson tracks the evolution in the history of medical science from a multi-sex discourse at the dawn of the 20th century to a rigid binary sex discourse in the post WWII period. By reading against the grain, Gill-Peterson undermines the authority medical science claimed to determine trans lives.
