Abstract
Dr. Lisa Marchiano, in her article, “Transgender Children: The Making of a Modern Hysteria,” resurrects an archaic and misogynistic label in order to invalidate the experience of transgender young persons. Marchiano’s article represents a long history of anti-transgender activism, including the promotion of an unfounded pseudo-diagnosis that has been rejected by both medical and mental health professionals. Rather than dismissing transgender identities as a media-influenced delusion, Jungian theory provides a unique opportunity to understand the transgender experience through a focus on powerful mythic and archetypal themes.
