#transhistoryweek

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

This week is #TransHistoryWeek, and it's more important than ever to celebrate the vast contributions the Trans and Non-binary community have made to society.

In an ever-increasingly hostile society towards Trans and Non-binary people (just you wait – those doing the targeting will definitely come for the rest of the LGBTQIA+ community), I wholeheartedly support the Trans and Non-binary communities.

Because I believe that our (LGBTQIA+) existence should be represented in education, I've generated a coupon code to get one of my newest resources, Under the Scope, for free.

Written to coincide with LGBTQ+ History Month 2024, this ELT resource looks at trends in LGBTQIA+ mental health and being yourself, focusing on Dr Ewan Forbes.

All you need to do is add the resource to your cart, and add the coupon code THW2025

QueerAF · Trans+ History Week - The History Lesson We Never HadKnowledge of our past is fundamental for our liberation. Trans+ History Week is a week-long reflective period to learn and celebrate the momentous and millennia-old history of transgender, non-binary, gender-diverse and Intersex people.

Andrea Jenkins is a politician, poet, activist and community historian. She was the first Black trans woman to be elected to public office in the United States and continues to work for the whole community.

“Transgender people have been here forever…I look forward to more trans people joining me in elected office and all other kinds of leadership roles in our society." Andrea Jenkins

Trans people have always been here, but too often our histories are hidden.

Have you heard of Jim McHarris? He was born in 1924 and socially transitioned in his early teens. He moved around a lot, but then decided to settle in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Unfortunately, other residents of the town soon discovered Jim’s gender history and he moved on once again.

We found out about him though this article from Trans Griot: transgriot.blogspot.co.uk/2012

Each day this Trans+ History Week, we're featuring (at least) one trans person who has made history or who continues to make history.

If you've not heard of Lou Sullivan, look him up. He was an HIV positive, gay trans man and a community organiser and activist. He lobbied for gay, trans men to be given access to medical transition. He was visible so that other gay, trans men could see that they weren’t alone.
