Show notes

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.

Transsexualism in Greek Mythology Oct 04, 2021

Show notes

Historically, religion and the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) movements clashed. Transsexualism is a universal theme that is perhaps as old as the human race. It is undoubtedly older than written literature as a part of Greek mythology. Transsexualism is the phenomena of lifelong, widespread cross-gender identification and is not new to our culture or time. Numerous references from classical mythology, classical history, Renaissance, and nineteenth-century history, as well as more cultural anthropology sources, indicate to the transsexual phenomenon's long history and worldwide prevalence.
