Description

http://adventuresintimeandgender.org/Suitcase and the The Narrator meet Ulrichs, who explains his theory that labelling and categorising are the route to queer liberation. He says that scientists of the 19th century were giving names to everything in nature so to name something was to recognise it as part of nature and therefore not something you can legislate against. Then they travel to 1930 and meet Magnus Hirschfeld who takes them on a tour of his Institute of Sexology and then to the Eldorado club.The Suitcase was already a Hirschfeld fan. The Narrator isn’t so sure, They prefer more boundaries when it comes to the relationship between doctors and patients. Next they meet Harry Benjamin and Alfred Kinsey who explain how they each developed scales as a way of classifying sexuality and gender. Suitcase tells The Narrator about possibility models – something you only dreamed of and then find out it can actually happen.
