Lesung Buch „Before Gender – Lost stories from trans history 1850 – 1950“ mit Eli Erlick, PhD

Discover the trailblazing lives of thirty trans people who will radically change everything you’ve been told about transgender history.

Highlighting influential individuals from 1850 to 1950 who are all but unknown today, we invite you to this wonderful opportunity to hear some remarkable stories from author Eli Erlick. The narratives you hear this evening will chronicle the grit, joy and survival of trans people long before gender became an everyday term.

Organised into four parts, paralleling today’s controversies over gender identity – kids, activists, workers and athletes – Before Gender introduces figures whose forgotten stories transform the discussion. These ground-breaking histories include two of the first teens to access gender-affirming medical treatment, a Berliner countess who instigated an LGBTQ+ riot forty years before Stonewall and the greatest female billiards player of the 1910s.

Bold and visionary, Erlick’s debut uncovers these lost stories from the depths of the archives to narrate trans lives in a way that has never been attempted before.
