Today marks the start of the first ever Trans History Week - it's time for the history lesson we never had. Trans+ History Week is a week-long reflective period to learn and celebrate the millennia-old history of trans people, established by QueerAF . It’s a week to learn from our history, and build on and celebrate the work that the incredible trans archivers, historians and content creators are doing. Today it begins, on the 91st anniversary of the Nazi raid on the world’s first trans clinic. How will you mark the occasion?
