In this video, Brody offers a partial history of gender dysphoria. Made shortly after she began taking gender affirming hormone therapy, this video essay is a reflective consideration on the medicalized nature of trans identity and the deficit model of trans healthcare compared to the tenets of disability justice. In it, she works to re-frame the individuating diagnosis of “gender identity disorder” as a collective trauma experienced by all people, cisgender and transgender, who are forced to live within a binary sex/gender system.
