The Unheard Voices: The Transgender Struggle in Early 20th Century Medicine
Description
In this episode, we delve into the pivotal period from 1899 to 1920 to examine its profound impact on LGBTQ+ medical history, specifically focusing on the transgender community. Despite the era's remarkable medical advancements, the LGBTQ+ community, particularly transgender individuals, faced significant challenges and discrimination. We discuss the influences of societal norms and prejudices on the medical profession, how well-intentioned efforts could perpetuate harm, and the harmful medical treatments transgender individuals were subjected to. We also reflect on the progress made, the ongoing challenges, and the importance of learning from our past for a more inclusive future.
