Transgender Australians: the history of an identity

该项目旨在追踪20世纪初以来澳大利亚跨性别者身份的出现。利用口述历史、档案和媒体，该项目打算分析关于变性者的医学、法律、文化和流行话语的变化，以及研究不断变化的社会态度如何影响不同性别人群的生活。通过揭示变性人的历史，该项目将探索不同性别的澳大利亚人在不断变化的社会规范中表达自己身份的方式。预期的结果将为当前关于变性人权利、医疗保健提供和社会包容的辩论提供信息。

This project aims to trace the emergence of transgender identities in Australia since the early twentieth century. Using oral histories, archives and media, the project intends to analyse shifting medical, legal, cultural and popular discourses about transgenderism, as well as study how evolving societal attitudes have affected the lives of gender diverse people. By revealing transgender people’s histories, the project will explore the ways gender diverse Australians have expressed their identities amidst changing social norms. The expected outcomes will inform current debates about transgender rights, healthcare provision and social inclusion.
