A Short History Of Trans Misogyny by Jules Gill-Peterson
This concise historical study traces how a distinct form of misogyny directed at trans and transfeminine people was produced and sustained by medical, legal, and cultural institutions from the nineteenth century to the present. Drawing on archival research, it shows how psychiatric classifications, policing, social welfare, and nationalist and imperial projects shaped ideas about who counts as a legitimate woman, and how those ideas intersect with race, class, and reproduction to produce specific patterns of exclusion and violence. The book argues that hostility toward trans women cannot be reduced to individual prejudice or recent political debates but must be understood as rooted in long-standing structures that regulate gender, sexuality, and citizenship.
