Using new inquisitorial sources, this study examines the complexities revolving around transgenderism and the construction of gender identity in the early modern Iberian World. It throws light upon the manner in which the Inquisition, medical practitioners and the wider society in Spain and Portugal responded to transgenderism and on the self-perception of individuals whose behaviour, whether consciously or unconsciously, flouted these social and sexual conventions.The Medieval and Early Modern Iberian World47.Gender identityPortugalHistoryGender identitySpainHistoryInquisitionPortugalHistoryInquisitionSpainHistoryTransgender peoplePortugalHistoryTransgender peopleSpainHistoryTransgenderismPortugalHistoryTransgenderismSpainHistoryElectronic books.Gender identityHistory.Gender identityHistory.InquisitionHistory.InquisitionHistory.Transgender peopleHistory.Transgender peopleHistory.TransgenderismHistory.TransgenderismHistory.306.76/80946Soyer François852475MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462342903321Ambiguous gender in early modern Spain and Portugal2025763UNINA
