About this listen
In more than three decades as a proud transgender man, Jamison Green has worked to advance the social, legal and civil rights of the trans community. Now he’s moved from making history to writing history as one of the authors and editors of a new book, “A History of Transgender Medicine in the United States.”
The book, eight years in the making, includes the voices of 42 contributing authors. In nearly 800 pages, it spans more than a century and includes profiles of transgender pioneers, a dive into the history of trans-focused psychiatry and psychology, and chapters on research ethics, the biological underpinnings of gender identity, the history of voice and communication interventions, and the treatment of gender-diverse children — among other topics.
Green spoke with David Hunt about the importance of trans history in the face of growing intolerance on the right. Produced for This Way Out: The International LGBTQ Radio Magazine. "A History of Transgender Medicine in the United States" is published by SUNY Press.
