    Lê 1 My-Lan Lê Profs. Pitts and Kane Trans-Atlantic History of Sexualties August 2014 Challenging the Cramped Binary Ideations of Sexual Identification Although the time that LGBTQ history has been recorded and researched is relatively short in comparison to other areas, what is available and known paints a colorful picture of the community and is embedded with the strength that has persisted throughout time. As it turns out, the Trans-Atlantic LGBTQ memory is as similar as it is diverse. Opinions vary by time and space, but the one thing that will always remain will be the strength and conviction embedded within the community. The consensus for LGBTQ rights advocates and allies is that there is nothing that is any more wrong with any person who identifies as LGBTQ than there is for anyone else. Unfortunately, there is a deep history in the world at large of fear of difference and the notion that there is an absolutely "right" way to live and an absolutely "wrong" way to live. During the time that is tracked, predominantly from the 20th century to the present, there were similar developments in the United States, the Netherlands, and France. We know that queerness has been around since ancient times — for example, ancient Greek Figure 1: Photo of an ancient Greek thinker as opposed to a modern thinker; this was in the French Museum of citizens were known to sleep with young, Eroticism (personal collection). Lê 2 adolescent males1. Since then, opinion has changed drastically. Overall, queerness has persisted and transcended above being labeled as sin, deviance, and pathology to becoming more normalized (in the sense that there is nothing wrong with it in the first place), increasing acceptance, and being offered legal rights and protections .

    Building a Better World for Transpeople: Reed Erickson and the Erickson Educational Foundation Aaron Devor Nicholas Matte ABSTRACT. This article argues that through its role as a national clearing house and funding agency, Reed Erickson and the Erickson Educational Foundation (EEF) actively directed the course of trans research and contemporary social services and policies effecting trans people. We structure this article around the EEF’s three key areas of work in the field of transsexualism: sup- port and referral, advocacy and education, and research and professional development. We show how these three main efforts lead to widespread medical and social change for trans people during the years of EEF operation. doi:10.1300/J485v10n01_07 [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-HAWORTH.

Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Dr. Harry Benjamin as a young man. Harry Benjamin was a medical doctor now best remembered for his pioneering work Image courtesy Archive with transsexuals. for Sexology, Humboldt University, Berlin. Benjamin was born in Berlin in 1885. While still a university student, his interest in the science of sexuality led to a friendship with Magnus Hirschfeld, the leader of the homosexual emancipation movement and founding director of the Institute for Sexual Science. Benjamin accompanied Hirschfeld on visits to homosexual and transgender bars in Berlin when Hirschfeld was researching and writing Die Transvestiten, the first book-length treatment of transgender phenomena, published in 1910. Benjamin completed his medical studies at the University of Tübingen in 1912, and came to the United States in 1913 to work as a doctor on a tuberculosis research project. He attempted to return to Germany in 1914, at the outbreak of World War I, but his ship was intercepted en route from New York and diverted to England. After a brief stay in an internment camp as an enemy alien, Benjamin was allowed to return to New York, where he became a United States citizen and established a successful medical practice. In the 1920s and 1930s, Benjamin maintained close personal and professional contacts with Hirschfeld and the Viennese endocrinologist Eugen Steinach, a specialist in anti-aging treatments who also conducted the first medical experiments to determine the roles of estrogen and testosterone in the production of secondary sex characteristics.

  • Genny Beemyn, "Transgender History in the United States"
    2 Transgender History in the United States A special unabridged version of a book chapter from Trans Bodies, Trans Selves, edited by Laura Erickson-Schroth GENNY BEEMYN TRANSGENDER HISTORY In thE UNITEd StATES by Genny Beemyn part of Trans Bodies, Trans Selves edited by Laura Erickson-Schroth AbOut thIs E-BOOK The history of transgender and gender nonconforming people in the United States is one of struggle, but also of self-determination and community building. Transgender groups have participated in activism and education around many issues, including gender expectations, depathologization, poverty, and discrimination. Like many other marginalized people, our history is not always preserved, and we have few places to turn to learn the stories of our predecessors. This chapter is an unabridged version of the United States History chapter of Trans Bodies, Trans Selves, a resource guide by and for transgender communities. Despite lim- iting its focus to the United States, this chapter still contained so much important in- formation that would need to be cut to meet the book’s length requirements that a decision was made to publish it separately in its original form. We cannot possibly tell the stories of the many diverse people who together make up our history, but we hope that this is a beginning. AbOut the AuthOR Genny Beemyn has published and spoken extensively on the experiences and needs of trans people, particularly the lives of gender nonconforming students. They have written or edited many books/journal issues, including The Lives of Transgender People (with Sue Rankin; Columbia University Press, 2011) and special issues of the Journal of LGBT Youth on “Trans Youth” and “Supporting Transgender and Gender-Nonconforming Children and Youth” and a special issue of the Journal of Homosexuality on “LGBTQ Campus Experiences.” Genny’s most recent work is A Queer Capital: A History of Gay Life in Washington, D.C.
