Telling Gender Stories: Parents, Physicians and the Transgender Child

Tuesday, February 28th, @3:30PM, ROOM TBA. A discussion on gender with Tey Meadow, Princeton Society Fellow. Popular news media, physicians, politicians, and parents are all talking about transgender children. They are puzzling out what makes some small minority of very young boys and girls depart, sometimes radically, from the type of gender behaviors other children seem to engage in naturally and automatically. They are describing and explaining and analyzing which children are actually transgender, which will turn out to be gay or lesbian adults, and what the proper individual and institutional responses to childhood gender nonconformity should be. They are wondering aloud whether transgender children represent the eradication of gender as we know it, or continued capitulation to patriarchal notions of gender difference. The greater availability of medical technologies that suspend and forestall puberty in transgender children render these discussions ever more consequential, and lead to an intensified focus on predicting just who individual children will become as adults. In this talk, based on an ethnographic investigation of the transgender child, I examine the work done by parents and physicians to manage the uncertainties of gender, of childhood and of this unique historical moment.
