These libraries contained the sum of all modern knowledge of transgender people. This knowledge has still not been reclaimed.

By yet to be reclaimed are you implying there's some knowledge they had that we haven't since rediscovered? Seems unlikely. Though possible.

Therefore there is no simple body of epidemiological research. Literally everything is ad hoc and mired in post-war stigma.
