This book was an incredible uncovering of stories that it's easy to assume never existed. While trans people and those who don't conform to gender norms are shamed, murdered, and have their humanity debated today, this book makes clear that these people are not "new" or unheard of. It also reinforces that gender can't be seen and isn't fixed, but is performed. A fascinating and informing book .

Solid academia book. So well referenced and so many insightful looks into individual stories. Author was extremely respectful and knowledgeable, handling topics that all converged with each other with varying levels of intensity and importance.
