1908: Trans-sexual = Cross-sexual
The Medical Times, December 1908 So far as we have been able to observe, either in the historic or individual sense, a strong, deep, pure trans-sexual love which is the theoretic and, to a large degree, the actual basis of marriage, is absolutely unaffected by ecclesiastic or civil rulings with regard to future developments. But, the general knowledge that a possibly intolerable condition will be compulsory, does, so far as we can observe, influence the tendency to yield to the beginning of such a passion. The burned child does not always shun the fire — indeed, in this particular it is surprising how frequently he puts his hands into it again and is deliciously warmed instead of burned — but the child who has seen his companion, burned also frequently benefits by the vicarious experience.

Why this article may matter
Community significance
“1908: Trans-sexual = Cross-sexual” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to healthcare and medicine, while also engaging family and relationships. Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.
Historical significance
As a publication record from 2012 at Cristan’s Research, “1908: Trans-sexual = Cross-sexual” provides dated evidence of how healthcare and medicine was being argued in relation to family and relationships.
