By exchanging letters and pictures among themselves they established private networks of affirmation and trust, and by submitting their stories and photographs to medical journals and popular magazines they sought to educate both doctors and the public.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOthers of My Kind\u003c\/em\u003e draws on archives in Europe and North America to tell the story of this remarkable transatlantic transgender community. This book uncovers threads of connection between Germany, the United States, and the Netherlands to discover the people who influenced the work of authorities like Magnus Hirschfeld, Harry Benjamin, and Alfred Kinsey not only with their clinical presentations, but also with their personal relationships. It explores the ethical and analytical challenges that come with the study of what was once private, secret, or unacceptable to say. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith more than 180 colour and black and white illustrations, including many stunning, previously unpublished photographs, \u003cem\u003eOthers of My Kind\u003c\/em\u003e celebrates the faces, lives, and personal networks of those who drove twentieth-century transgender history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Bakker, Rainer Herrn, Michael Thomas Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1773851217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781773851211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Calgary Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.83h x 8.49w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2021","brand":"Alex Bakker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44042476519679,"sku":"9781773851211","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72aa54cf-ca97-4135-a0da-507f4f4bf944.jpg?v=1684961752","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/others-of-my-kind-alex-bakker-9781773851211","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
