Earl Lind’s 1918 autobiography has been recognized as a
pioneering work in the history of transgender literature.
Throughout his life, Lind was forced to justify and defend his
existence from puritanical authorities. In the first of his trilogy
of autobiographical works, he not only demands recognition, but
exposes the denial of his existence as nothing but hatred and fear.
“Androgynes have of course existed in all ages of history and
among all races. In Greek and Latin authors there are many
references to them, but these references are not always understood
except by the few scholars who are themselves androgynes or at
least passive sexual inverts. […] [T]hese men-women, because
misunderstood, have been held in great abomination both in the
middle ages and in modern times, but the prejudice against them was
not so extreme in antiquity, and a cultured citizen having this
nature did not then lose caste on this account.” Situating his
own identity within this history of oppression, Lind makes the case
for recognizing the presence of androgynes in all human societies.
Ever since he was a child, Lind identified as feminine and was
keenly aware of his homosexual desires, gaining a reputation among
the local boys and soon turning to girls for friendship and
understanding. In a world that saw androgynes as both corrupt and
willfully different, Lind sought to increase understanding and to
explain through scientific, historical, and personal evidence why
his identity was congenital, and therefore natural. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Earl Lind’s Autobiography of an Androgyne is a
classic work of transgender literature reimagined for modern
readers.
