Thank you @gkoskovich for this very cool catalogue Thank you @gkoskovich for this very cool catalogue !!! 
From Gerard: Marking today as International Transgender Day of Visibility, I’ve produced a new catalog documenting transgender and gender-nonconforming history and culture broadly considered. 

The catalog includes books, periodicals, zines, ephemera, photographs, posters, buttons, stickers and realia dating from 1862 to the present. You’ll find items not only in English, but also in Bosnian, French, Flemish, Italian and Spanish.

To download the catalog, see link in @gkoskovich bio
