In a recent issue of Perspectives, the monthly publication of the American Historical Association, Emily Skidmore (PhD, 2011), was quote extensively in an article on the rise of trans history as a field of study. The author of True Sex: The Lives of Trans Men at the Turn of the 20^th Century (NYU Press, 2017), Skidmore explains that “Even though the term transgender is modern, people have moved from one gender to another for a very long time. And transgender history looks at that movement.” For a link to the article, see
