A 2021 CHOICE Outstanding Title From the turn of the twentieth
century to the 1950s, a group of transgender people on both sides
of the Atlantic created communities that profoundly shaped the
history and study of sexuality. By exchanging letters and pictures
among themselves they established private networks of affirmation
and trust, and by submitting their stories and photographs to
medical journals and popular magazines they sought to educate both
doctors and the public. Others of My Kind draws on archives in
Europe and North America to tell the story of this remarkable
transatlantic transgender community. This book uncovers threads of
connection between Germany, the United States, and the Netherlands
to discover the people who influenced the work of authorities like
Magnus Hirschfeld, Harry Benjamin, and Alfred Kinsey not only with
their clinical presentations, but also with their personal
relationships. It explores the ethical and analytical challenges
that come with the study of what was once private, secret, or
unacceptable to say. With more than 170 colour and black and white
illustrations, including many stunning, previously unpublished
photographs, Others of My Kind celebrates the faces, lives, and
personal networks of those who drove twentieth-century transgender
history.
