This site is the most comprehensive on the web devoted to trans history and biography. Well over 1700 persons worthy of note, both famous and obscure, are discussed in detail, and many more are mentioned in passing.

There is a detailed Index arranged by vocation, doctor, activist group etc. There is also a Place Index arranged by City etc. This is still evolving.

In addition to this most articles have one or more labels at the bottom. Click one to go to similar persons. There is a full list of labels at the bottom of the right-hand sidebar. There is also a search box at the top left. Enjoy exploring!

Trans Person Index

Index to the sites 'A Gender Variant Who's Who' and 'Gender Variance in the Arts'


The indices are normally updated at the end of each calendar quarter.

March 2007 – September 2024.


Because this index grew in size, I have had to break off sections. So see also:

Cis Persons Index
Place Index
Media Index


This first index is of trans persons who are of interest to this blog because of something in their life.  Mainly it sorts persons by vocation.  

A second index is mainly associated cis persons, but also includes Cis Gender Variation, Cis Dabbling in Gender Play and Homeovestity, and mistakenly being taken as Trans.    It then includes doctors who have catered to Trans persons, Lawyers and Police, Spouses, Lovers, Chasers and Family, Facilitators and Benefactors, Nemeses, Aristocrats whose conveniences were put before justice, Cis Serial Killers and Gangsters, Historians, Sociologists, Theologians, Polemicists,  Journalists, Clerics, Photographers and Film Makers.   


The next index is Place Index which is by locations, mainly by cities.


The other index is media (books, films, photographs etc) and miscellaneous. These are now found in the Media Index

Trans Kids

This term is used here in the neutral sense of a trans person who begins transition in teenage or earlier. Kiira Triea and Kay Brown have attempted to appropriate the term and conflate it with Blanchard's 'homosexual transsexual'. This conflation is not based on reality, and has confused the issue.


A rejoinder to Kay Brown’s “What is a Transsexual?” (clarifies that early transition/transkid and "homosexual transsexual" are not at all the same)

Birth Order in Androphilic Trans Women establishes that Blanchard's presumption, that first and second born AMAB persons will be gynephilic, simply does not hold up.


Changeback


Youthful Phase


It is quite common to experiment with gender during childhood or teenage, but then decide to go no further and to take an adult gender congruant with that of one's birth. Unfortunately authority persons usually cannot tell the difference between a trans kid, and a child going though a phase of gender play. The most notorious example of this was the Feminine Boy Project administered by Richard Green (more) and George Rekers wherein the supposed trans girls mainly grew up to be gay men. The write up of this project was published in 1987 as The "Sissy Boy Syndrome" and the Development of Homosexuality. This lack of perception between two very different types of children leads commentators like Camille Paglia to dislike the availability of transgender medicine in that if it had been available earlier, she would have made changes that she later regretted.
