A Short History of Trans Misogyny 2024
A Short History of Trans Misogyny is a 2024 book written by transgender author and academic Jules Gill-Peterson. The work explores the roots of transmisogyny, defined as hatred or violence directed at trans women and others described as "trans-feminized." Peterson analyzes how transmisogyny has been connected to colonial state policies globally. She highlights specific instances including the genocide of two-spirit individuals in the Americas, the criminalization of hijra people under British India rule, the killing of Jennifer Laude in the Philippines by an American soldier, and the media attention and policing surrounding sex worker Mary Jones in New York City.
