Overview
Todayās narratives about trans people tend to feature individuals with stable gender identities that fit neatly into the categories of male or female. Those stories, while important, fail to account for the complex realities of many trans peopleās lives. Ā
Ā
Before We Were TransāÆilluminates the stories of people across the globe, from antiquity to the present,āÆwhose experiencesāÆof gender haveāÆdefiedāÆbinary categories. BlendingāÆhistorical analysisāÆwith sharp cultural criticism, trans historian and activist Kit Heyam offers a new, radically inclusiveāÆtrans history, chronicling expressions of trans experience that are often overlooked, like gender-nonconforming fashion and wartime stage performance. Before We Were TransāÆtransports usāÆfrom Renaissance Venice toāÆseventeenth-centuryāÆAngola, from Edo Japan toāÆearly America, and looksāÆto the past to uncover new horizons forāÆpossible trans futures.āÆĀ
