History of Transgender Medicine (Part 1)

Why are hormones considered medication, and when did we start giving it to trans people? When did we start administering hormones to CIS people? Who were the thinkers who originally researched trans people, and why was the early research burned and destroyed? Why are there so few older trans people? Why were the guidelines for transition SO strict in the 1900s? How did doctors take advantage of the system to abuse trans people? When did the tides begin to shift? How long did it take before trans people were accepted as the experts of our own experiences? (and why was it SO LONG??) ALL of those questions (and more!) are answered in this week's episode. Next week, we'll be back with the ultimate question: why did we start giving hormones to children? Who were the masterminds and researchers behind transgender medicine, and how can we continue to improve it in the future?
