Trans+ History Week is May 05-11 for this very reason. The week they tried to erase us is the week we will remember.

I’d really like to read an article where someone breaks down the parallels between the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Germany, and the upcoming Olympics in LA, USA. Do we have any Nazi-period historians on here that have specific knowledge on the Olympics in this period?

"We are older than your laws and we will outlive them," one sign said. EITM correspondent S. Baum attended this weekend's Stonewall protest, organized by Transexual Menace, which connected trans elders, youth, and everyone in between. Read their story and subscribe to support our journalism.

This from @leahtigers.bsky.social is exceptional. A history of the trans feminine in high fashion, from the 19th century origins of haute couture to Mugler and the dolls

Teachers, you know those days you cannot get all the lessons planned? Many organizations have put together excellent lessons you can use with confidence. Many times, the lessons can be student centered and led, making it even more fun and less stressful.

I hope you, too will find visibility and community - whether past or present in the intersectional icons of queer history 👇 https://www.wearequeeraf.com/how-learning-about-disabled-trans-figures-from-history-made-me-feel-less-alone/

I’ve been going through the open call submissions for @transhistoryweek.bsky.social most of this week. All 450 of them! It’s a little daunting! But being immersed in so many stories I did not know - shared by community members as passionate about history as I am - it’s so restorative. ☺️
