Transgender Representations: GID
Posted by Sam Ho at 12:56

I shall now use this blog to write my thoughts down as I organise and write my thesis, titled "Transgender representations". A lot of people tell me I should just write (for fun) as it gives me the opportunity to reflect more.

Many trans persons have claimed or explained they once (or still are) suffering from Gender Identity Disorder, or GID.

When such medico-psychiatric diagnoses are invoked in the articulation of a person's condition or identity, alarm bells will ring for many a social scientist or a humanities scholars.
