Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autobiography of an AndrogyneCentennial EditionThis compilatory book includes most every work of the early 20th transgender activist Jennie June, who also went under the pseudonym of Ralph Wether, and whose birth name was Earl Lind.Between 1918-1922, Jennie June published two volumes of transgender memoirs (Autobiography of an Androgyne and The Female Impersonators), as well as several articles about transgender life in leading medical journals of the day, and also response rebuttals to misinformed articles by medical "experts" about trans and LGBTQ persons at the time of the early 20th century. Her books discuss the works of diverse sexuality personalities such as Magnus Hirshfeld, Sigmund Freud, Havelock Ellis, and Kraft-Ebbing, not to mention not only her own graphic accounts of her violent life as a transgender woman at that time, but other trans peoples lives, as well.This volume includes all of this revelatory material, as well as substantial excerpts of Ms. June's third work of autobiography, The Riddle of the Underworld. Further material includes contemporary reviews of both of the two published autobiography works by Ms. June, and a rare contemporary account of a transgender woman's medical examination by an extremely unsympathetic New York doctor in 1916, who was related to Ms. June as being her photographer in 1908 and 1918.
