All of the “graphic” tags are in the context of “historian telling you events that happened and the causes and consequences of them “. They can still be disturbing. The chapter “The Difficult Decades” (referring to the 70s and 80s)was notably a hard one for me due to descriptions of transphobia, transmisogyny, HIV, and death. Also none of these tags are perpetrated by the author to my knowledge, only ever described.ignatzv's review against another edition

corsetedfeminist's review against another edition
4.5
This is a book on trans history, written by a member of the trans community, which lends a tenderness, understanding, and poignancy that only a trans author could display. The love and respect for trans history fills every page.
The books also does an excellent job of discussing the ways different parts of the trans community were perceived in various times- such as the fascination with well off white trans women during the 1950’s while at the same time poor Black trans women were constantly roughed up by police, leading to the resistance that would eventually begin the fight for all queer rights.
All in all, a very solid overview of the subject that is quickly recommend to any interested person
