Science in Transition - Episode 1: Birth of the Clinic https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/25cc757d-1123-4c8e-9f64-af087a3b40ef As various fields in the medical sciences advance during the interwar period, doctors confront a problem: the treatment of adults who desire to change their sex. While many clinicians propose psychotherapy, a few dotted across the Western world have a different idea: use newly synthesized hormones and surgical procedures to treat them.
