“It’s hard to overstate the importance of a book and exhibition series like Trans Hirstory in a time of historic attacks against trans and LGBTQ+ rights both in the United States and around the world… .

– “Susan Stryker, Dornsife Dean’s Professor in Residence of Gender and Sexuality Studies, University of Southern California”
