Why Is Emily Skidmore Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Emily Skidmore is an associate professor, a researcher and the author of True Sex. She is currently a history professor at Texas Tech University where she is also the director of graduate studies. Biography For her award-winning book True Sex: The Lives of Trans Men at the Turn of the Twentieth Century, Skidmore gathered historical evidence of trans men in the United States from the 1876 to 1936 using newspapers and census and court documents. Some of the trans men documented included Joseph Lobdell and Ralph Kerwineo. Rorotoko featured Skidmore and her book in a cover interview discussing her discovery of historical records of trans men in rural areas. True Sex marks a historical deviation from the normative argument of that queer folks generally move to cities. Skidmore argues that the history of queer America may look different than the stories that currently predominate. She has been extensively quoted in the works of others such as Kritika Agarwal's 2018 article in Perspectives on trans history. The book has been extensively reviewed with commentary supporting the possibility of reframing the history of queer people in the United States.
