Our stories are our power and we must protect them.
Simply learning that Trans+ people have always been here shuts down the pernicious lie that we’re a “trend”, “modern fashion”, or “social contagion”.
Instead, it helps us lead with stories and truth. Incredibly powerful tools.
The more time and energy we spend making the millennia-old history of Trans+ people and gender-diverse communities well known – the quicker we can drown out their lies and misinformation about us.
Our stories heal and empower us with wisdom. Knowing that we’ve always been here tells us that we belong here.
So for Trans+ History Week, QueerAF has produced the intiative's third annual workbook which delves into four Trans+ history stories you never had.
It is packed full of tips, lessons and ideas for how you can make our history better known to shut down pernicious lies about our community.
Help us collect, platform and share Trans+ history stories and, crucially, make them readily available. Get your toolkit now.
