A workbook highlighting significant transgender historical moments has been released by the organization behind the launch of Trans + History Week.
Founded by the independent publishing software Queer Pga and Marty Davies, the week will be dedicated to learning more about, and celebrating, the rich history of trans, non-binary, gender-diverse and transgender communities across the globe.
The team hopes that the publication of the Trans + History Week Workbook will promote a recurring design that trans people have always existed, despite what popular culture and social media might have you believe.
According to Davies, the workbook may be” the single most significant artefact we will create each year.”
We provide four tales from our past that teach us four classes that inspire and motivate us in the present. ”
The goal of releasing the workbook ahead of Trans + History Week, which runs between 6 and 12 May, is to “inspire the world to mark [it ] in their own way. ”
Make room for the past teaching we always had, Davis continues. ”
Trans story has been erased
For, Gray Burke-Stowe, the lead researcher and author for the Trans + History Month Workbook, distilling thousands of years of transgender story into four distinct stories allows users to create their own behavior.
If you want to contribute to our cause, write a piece of information based on what you learned, or publish a piece of information about these topics in your company, he says. We want the public to be aware of it. ”
According to Burke-Stowe, the need for a month dedicated to trans record came about because” there are major parts that are ignored or erased.”
He thinks the story that transgender people have never existed before is relatively new. “It’s because of the internet and that [being trans ] has become a trendy ‘thing ’ rather than an actual part of human diversity.
When we can put it in context, establish that it is actually it, and research it and provide citations, it becomes very obvious that trans people have always existed. ”
Additionally, the spreadsheet emphasizes the importance of area. The trans past timeframe shows that social behavior produces a stronger sense of identity, from the South Asian Hijra areas to the Stonewall Riots.
“One of the reasons why [the ] Stonewall [Riots ] is one of those events that we look back to is because it was all the queer community working together, ” says Burke-Stowe.
Because the willful division of the “T” from the LGBTQ+ continues in today’s headlines and social media conversation, he adds, this power in area is more essential than ever.
If you want to evict individuals, you must remove them from the areas where they can rest. By separating trans, non-binary and transgender individuals from the rest of the neighborhood, it is obvious that it is attempting destruction.
When we can work up, I want people to realize that we are strong and capable of doing things. The more we come up, the freer are we are. ”
