Reviews

""…a riveting and comprehensive look at the history of gender-affirming medical care."" — Windy City Times ""We are reminded of just how tenuous the progress laid out beautifully in this well-researched book remains. What's needed is empathy for those engaged in gender journeys … A History of Transgender Medicine in the United States gives us the story of how we have come to this moment in the struggle for trans rights and empowers the reader to do what the clinicians of the last century tried to do: listen to, see, understand, and ultimately aid those who are asking only to be allowed to be themselves."" — The Provincetown Independent ""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
