One of the earliest references to a gender spectrum in literature may have been from German legal author Prof. Ludwig Frey, when he uses the German language term ''Geshlechtsreihe'' in his 1898 book ''Die Männer des Rätsels und der Paragraph 175 des Deutschen Reichsstrafgesetzbuches'' ("The Men of Riddles and Paragraph 175 of the German Imperial Criminal Code").<ref name="Frey">{{Cite book|url=http://archive.org/details/DieMaennerDesRaetselsUndDerParagraph175DesDeutschen|title=Die Männer des Rätsels und der Paragraph 175 des Deutschen Reichsstrafgesetzbuches|last=Frey|pages=216|first=Ludwig|publisher=Verlag von Max Spohr|year=1898|location=Leipzig}}</ref> Although this is not explicitly the term "gender spectrum", ''Geshlechtsreihe'' can be translated to mean a scale/spectrum/sequence of genders/sexes.<gallery widths="260" heights="170"> | One of the earliest references to a gender spectrum in literature may have been from German legal author Prof. Ludwig Frey, when he uses the German language term ''Geshlechtsreihe'' in his 1898 book ''Die Männer des Rätsels und der Paragraph 175 des Deutschen Reichsstrafgesetzbuches'' ("The Men of Riddles and Paragraph 175 of the German Imperial Criminal Code").<ref name="Frey">{{Cite book|url=http://archive.org/details/DieMaennerDesRaetselsUndDerParagraph175DesDeutschen|title=Die Männer des Rätsels und der Paragraph 175 des Deutschen Reichsstrafgesetzbuches|last=Frey|pages=216|first=Ludwig|publisher=Verlag von Max Spohr|year=1898|location=Leipzig}}</ref> Although this is not explicitly the term "gender spectrum", ''Geshlechtsreihe'' can be translated to mean a scale/spectrum/sequence of genders/sexes.<gallery widths="260" heights="170"> | ||

The phrase "gender spectrum" in English dates back at least to the 1980s. For example, in a 1985 issue of the [[crossdressing]]/[[transsexual]]ism magazine "Tapestry", a listing for a therapy group is described as including "transsexuals, transvestites and persons who are trying to find themselves on the gender spectrum."<ref>"Tapestry Issue 46 (1985)." Periodical. ''Digital Transgender Archive'', https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/files/6682x4006 (accessed October 02, 2020).</ref> | |||
