The Relationship Between Trans Identity and Transformations Within the Medical Establishment

I want to step back to discuss your book's big picture argument. Namely, you refute the notion that medicine invented the trans child or trans people. To what extent are they separate stories that intersect? And to what degree are they mutually constitutive constructed through some sort of dialectical or dialogic relationship to each other? That's a really interesting question. I mean, it's sort of clear in the structure of the book that medicine didn't invent trans kids because I narrate a couple of trans childhoods well before the medical mall where kids are living.
