Others of my kind: Transatlantic transgender histories<\/em> by Alex Bakker, Rainer Herrn, Michael Thomas Taylor, and Annette F. Timm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others of My Kind<\/em> provides a window into a perspective long overlooked in the study of medical care for transgender people: the transgender people themselves. This book explores the personal relationships between transgender people and their medical providers across Europe and North America from the turn of the century to the 1950s. Using archived material, including hundreds of color and black and white photographs, the authors details the personal experiences of transgender people, many of whom lived anonymously in a world that did not accept them. Read what A. N. Weiss of Loyola Marymount University calls essential reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
