A Mission To Tell Trans History Differently

When Kit Heyam was first trying to understand their gender identity as an adolescent, they looked to history. But they only found stories that painted a very narrow picture of what it means to be trans. Years later, when Kit started studying history professionally, a different picture emerged. They talk to Anita about the trans histories they found from around the globe and how those stories paint a more diverse and messy picture of the ways people have been pushing the boundaries of gender for millennia.Meet the guest:- Kit Heyam is the author of "Before We Were Trans: A New History of Gender"Read the transcript | Review the podcast on your preferred platformFollow Embodied on Instagram Leave a message for Embodied
