SUITCASE: Adventures in Time and Gender.
NARRATOR: Back in March 2019, there were a series of workshops for young trans and non-binary people exploring the history of science and gender. The group said that they wished that everyone knew that trans people have always existed and so that became our mission.
In Adventures in Time and Gender, Suitcase and I would like to take you on a trip through time and space, meeting trans people from history and some of the doctors and experts who have shaped the way that western society thinks about us.
