Abstract

The article discusses that Sociologists have always had rich and sometimes controversial material to explore within the ‘contentious epistemological space' of health and medicine, but the field of trans1 health has come to represent one of most highly contested of these domains. It mentions that it seems almost an understatement to suggest that these conflicts are intensifying, with ever more distressing and harmful effects for trans people around the world.
