Histories of the Transgender Child

Jules Gill-Peterson uncovers twentieth-century histories of transgender children and the medical, racial, and political systems around them.

Histories of the Transgender Child

📝 Book Review & Summary

This book belongs in FemRes because it places trans life, queer politics, and feminist questions on the same map instead of treating trans experience as a “special issue” outside feminism. For readers, it helps explain how gender systems work through medicine, law, family, race, class, colonialism, media visibility, and everyday care. It is especially important today because it counters the claim that trans childhood is a new or purely social-media phenomenon.

It is especially useful alongside FemRes topics on Trans Feminism, Queer Theory, Bodily Autonomy, Gender Diversity, Intersectional Feminism, and Social Movements.
