Biography[edit]

Emily Skidmore's award winning book True Sex: The Lives of Trans Men at the Turn of the Twentieth Century gathered historical examples of trans men in the United States from the 1876 to 1936. The historical examples were gathered from newspapers, census and court documents[3]. Some of the included trans men were, Joseph Lobdell and Ralph Kerwineo[3]. Rorotoko did a cover interview feature with Skidmore regarding her book True Sex: The Lives of Trans Men at the Turn of the Twentieth Century, as the book looked at historical findings of Trans men in rural areas[4]. "True Sex" marks a historical deviation from the normative argument of that queer folks generally move to cities. Skidmore argues that the history of queer America may look different then the stories we currently tell about it[4]. She has been extensively quoted in the works of others such as Kritika Agarwal's 2018 article in "Perspectives" on trans history[5][6]. The book has been extensively reviewed with commentary supporting the possibility of re-framing the history of queer people in the United States [7][8].

Skidmore's works center on LGBTQ2+ issues, with a focus of transgender history. Some of Skidmore's works are have an inter-sectional approach and her 12 articles have been published in 10 journals[9][10]. Skidmore's work has been included in A Companion to Americian Women's History[11][12][13] and her historical perspective has also been interviewed and quoted regarding the origins of the women's suffrage movement[14]. She has participated in the creation of the Global Encyclopedia of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) History, as an editor[15].

Skidmore's academic training has consisted of a historical focus, her B.A, 2004 from Macalester College, and PhD., 2011 from University of Illinois, were both in history[1]. She is currently an associate professor in history at the Texas Tech University[1].
