Abstract
The decade between 1968 and 1978 was a period of remarkable
activity in the state’s use of scientific knowledge about sex, gender, and
sexuality to define individual bodies in Indonesia. This article, analyzes
a particular locus for the deployment of expert knowledge about the body
that emerged during this decade, the process through which Indonesian
state experts incorporated, defined, and debated transnational knowledge
about transgender femininity.
