I have to continue to plug Zagria's blog: A Gender Variance Who's Who. She continues to come up with truly fascinating and moving portraits of trans and gender variant people from the last couple of centuries. She makes a great effort to reference her sources and the short biographies are incredible—stories which are at the same time heroic, devilish, sexy, chaste and incredibly resourceful ... every one of which would make for an amazing film. - GinaSF

I have unquestionably learned more about trans history from Zagria's A Gender Variance Who's Who than any other blog I've come across.  This site, coupled with Gender Variance in the Arts, is a wealth of information, starting with the incredibly comprehensive index of not just who, but also the what, where and when of transgender, transsexual, and general gender variant history and present.  In addition to that, the listing of online books and resources is invaluable.  This site is like a free university degree in gender studies, and should be introduced to anyone with an interest in the topic.  Hell, I'll just say it: everyone should follow this blog.- Lorax


I'm a history fanatic and Zagria's documentation of historical transgendered and transsexual women and men is nothing short of amazing! Check it out if you haven't. Crysti's Condo

The world is fortunate to have trans-journalist Zagria so diligently research and archive trans folk history... long may she continue doing so...

For those who are fighting to have society recognize trans identity as legitimate, as something other than a mental illness or a deception, it provides a historical parallax against which this modern argument can be measured. - Dr. Jillian T. Weiss

Zagria has produced probably the best historical documentary / who's who of the TG world as it existed around the time of Stonewall. It's a 5 star read. - Jim Beaux

Just a quick note to thank you for your Gender Variant Biography site - I came across it from a trackback to my own blog (thank you for the link!) - and today I have found it to be a very helpful resource in writing a post for The F-Word (where I am a regular blogger) – Helen G (Bird of Paradise)

I am blown away at the breadth of your research.—Gillian
