Description: Histories of the Transgender Child, Paperback by Gill-peterson, Julian, ISBN 1517904676, ISBN-13 9781517904678, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Challenging the myth that there were no transgender children until recently and illustrating the medicalization and racialization of children’s bodies, the author recounts the history of transgender children, arguing that these children were central to the medicalization of sex and gender during the 20th century through a racialized discourse of plasticity and showing why did they have been ignored. He explains how the 1950s was not the default starting point for trans history; challenges the rationality of medical science by reading trans people as complex participants in the production of scientific knowledge, rather than its objects; describes the overlooked entanglement of intersex and trans bodies during the first half of the 20th century; and reveals the role of the child's body and the medicalization of sex and gender as racially plastic and alterable phenotypes, illustrating how the medicalization of trans life has always racialized it. He begins with the turn of the 20th century and describes the concept of racial plasticity of gender and the child, as plasticity was a synonym for whiteness; the transgender child from the 1900s to the 1930s; experimental medicalization of intersex children's plasticity at the Johns Hopkins Hospital; intersex children in the 1950s and the invention of gender; transgender childhood in the 1960s; and transgender boyhood, race, and puberty in the 1970s.
