THE ARCHIVE

Profiles, articles, essays, books, and more written about transmasculine topics, written (mostly) by trans guys. 

​

The main part of the Trans Guy Archive is to research and catalog the trans men/masculine individuals of historical record, seen below in the "Profiles" section. This section is divided by time period: Antiquity, Medieval, Early Modern, Victorian, Modern, & Contemporary. The goal of the Profiles section is to create an easily accessible database for present-day trans guys to read and learn about their history. The scope of this section includes: transsexual & transgender men, Female Husbands, "female transsexuals", male impersonators -- or simply, anyone who was AFAB but presented long-term as male/masculine. This scope is open to be altered.

Other articles and essays span a variety of topics, ranging from a "how-to" guide on medical injections to why trans guys like puppy play so much. Articles and essays published by the Trans Guy Archive are interdisciplinary and will encompass a variety of subjects and opinions, such as the history of Female Husbands, pregnancy as a trans guy, drag king invisibility, and more. It is the goal of the Trans Guy Archive to foster a greater understanding of transmasculine issues while also giving emerging scholars and researchers a space to publish and examine the work of their contemporaries.
