Spanning from the first legal gender changes in 1944 and the devastating Corbett v.

Rebecca Jane Morgan shows how that fight emerged, evolved, and was sustained by grassroots organizing, court battles, and an unwavering demand by the trans community to be recognized by the very systems that so often try to erase them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a moment defined by pseudoscience, moral panic, and political backlash, this authoritative and readable account of the movement to date offers clarity, context, and hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRebecca Jane Morgan \u003c\/b\u003eis a transfeminist historian of modern Britain, popular culture, and queer identities.
