Arriving at a critical moment in the struggle for transgender rights, A History of Transgender Medicine in the United States takes an empathic approach to an embattled subject. Sweeping in scope and deeply personal in nature, this groundbreaking volume traces the development of transgender medicine across three centuries-centering the voices of transgender individuals, debunking myths about gender-affirming care, and empowering readers to grasp the complexities of this evolving field. More than forty contributors-including patients, advocates, physicians, psychologists, and scholars-weave an illuminating, sometimes surprising narrative of collaboration and conflict between trans people and the scientists who have studied and worked with them. An indispensable guide to understanding the current tumult surrounding trans health-care access in the United States, the volume underscores a crucial message: gender diversity is not a new phenomenon but an integral part of our shared human history.

Industry Reviews

""At a time when anti-trans haters are getting a large part of the public to believe that gender-affirming healthcare is new and experimental, this volume provides a much-needed corrective. While there have been books on trans history and books on gender-affirming medical care, there has not been a book that combines the two. Bringing them together in one volume makes this a really valuable resource."" - Genny Beemyn, editor of Trans People in Higher Education

""A pleasure to read from start to finish, this volume includes several essays that are sure to become classics and essential reading in the field of transgender health. Chapter after chapter offers the reader interesting history, useful information, and absorbing firsthand accounts of trans medicine."" - Katherine Rachlin, clinical psychologist
