Autobiography of an Androgyne
by Ralph Werther
A first-person account of gender variance, same-sex desire, nightlife, and survival in early twentieth-century New York.
Why it belongs here
The memoir preserves a rare voice from queer and trans history, documenting a life that contemporary medical and legal systems usually described only from the outside.
