Acknowledgements

I would like to thank the staff at the School for International Training in Durban for their support throughout the semester and in this project.

I would also like to acknowledge the staff of the Gay and Lesbian Archives for their encouragement and for providing me with extensive resources for this paper, and Liesl Theron for her endless connections and passion for trans rights.

I would also like to thank my friends and community at home for their love and concern for me in this journey.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Zane, Steve, Robert, Lex, Liam, Phil, and all of my South African brothers for their endless courage and strength, which gives me strength and hope. Without you, this project could not be possible.

Ngiyabonga Thembe, umfowethu wami eNatal.

This paper is dedicated to anyone who has ever loved in secret, to every boy that has worn a dress and liked it, to every girl who wishes for sideburns, and to every person who has ever looked in a mirror and seen an incomplete version of themselves.
