This presentation explores the challenges of writing histories of gender non-conformity. Focusing on the cases of maricas, invertidos sexuales, and mujeres hombres in the early twentieth century in Argentina opens questions about the methodological challenges of narrating lives that moved and transgressed what was socially defined as gender. Dr Simonetto engages with the overlapping queer and trans histories of Argentina to open questions about how lives of gender-nonconformity have been archived and the legacies of their memories in the present.
