Congrats! Sounds like a fantastic book—can’t wait to read it!
Matt Houlbrook’s The Prince of Tricksters may fit the bill. My article “Kidnapping and a ‘Confirmed Sodomite’” could be tangentially helpful. Good luck with your research!

Londoners, my friend Jack's trans history walking tours have two more dates: events.humanitix.com/trans-histor... I don't shill for friends indiscriminately - if you're keen on accessible, entertaining, moving, locally rooted & politically engaged trans history, I would genuinely recommend this!

Uncover London's millennia of trans history through stories of trans and gender-diverse resistance, rage, and rebellion winding from Soho to the Thames.

Feels obviously insane to post this today Amidst Everything, but today is Teaching Gender's official print publication day. You can read more about the book here global.oup.com/academic/pro..., and there is a discount code you can use to purchase it if e.g. you have an academic research allowance.
