Understanding Historical Context of Gender Identities
Historians aim to historicize gender categories beyond current frameworks, exploring gender identities in past contexts. Rather than projecting modern concepts onto history, the focus is on understanding gender identities on their own historical terms, disconnected from present labels. By tracing the evolution of terms like 'trans' or 'queer' back in time, historians aim to uncover unique identities and emphasize longer histories of gender diversity.
