I feel a spiritual kinship with the organisers of Lilith Fair. The magic of that moment. Of building infrastructure yourself. Of flying while putting the wings on the plane. Of making mistakes and learning and growing together. Of carving out space in a hostile climate. Of love and community.

Announcement coming Monday 18.00 GMT

The DIVA Awards 2026 public nominations are now open. Do me a favour and nominate @transhistoryweek.com - it’s been a challenging year and we’ve achieved so much with this project in spite of that. Our team of volunteers and all the creatives involved in the project deserve a better 2026. 👇

Nisreen and Gegê’s collab from earlier this year is one such example of how well these pairings work 🤓 www.wearequeeraf.com/the-story-of...

On Sunday I completed the matching of artists to writers for the Trans+ History Week features that will be released in May next year with QueerAF. This is the third year of doing this and each time it is one of the most exciting moments of the project.

🎅 Trans Secret Santa is coming to town… again! @transsolidarity.bsky.social are delivering a whopping 896 presents to Trans+ youth all over the UK, who may otherwise feel isolated during this time of year 🧵

We have always been here.

You know what to do

Oh and if you’d like to become our second regular direct debit donor for @transhistoryweek.com to keep us going and make today a little brighter for one trans girlie (me) then I wouldn’t hate it. www.transhistoryweek.com/donate

So proud of what we’ve achieved here together with @wearequeeraf.com. We have an award-winning podcast AND award-winning alumni creative talent! 👏 👏 👏 We already knew this lot did a fantastic job but it’s nice to have the world catch on too. 😎🙌

We sometimes talk about 'hard-to-reach' communities in the media, but 450 Trans+ people applied for the 20 opportunities in this campaign - not so hard after all eh? I'm incredibly proud of all of the @WeAreQueerAF.com podcast producers and the whole team behind @TransHistoryWeek.com 👏👏

BIG NEWS: Intersex Rights Putting Intersex people's voices at the centre of legislation that is about them, and protect Intersex children from unnecessary medical procedures The Bill will restrict deferrable medical treatments until the person can make the decision themselves

Have you heard about The Other Blue Pill?  Our documentary - produced for @thelovetankcic.bsky.social and @nat.org.uk - explores the history of PrEP in the UK and how it changed HIV prevention #WorldAIDSDay 🎗️ Listen now 👇🧵

Trans+ people of Bluesky, I need your help. Has anyone got good photography from the Trans+ protests earlier this year where people protested topless? I’d like to include this in the @transhistoryweek.com workbook next to our story published before about the topless protests in 1970s Milan

How can we use history stories as a tool for liberation? Three Trans+ creatives share their insights 👇 https://www.wearequeeraf.com/how-do-we-tell-trans-history-so-we-can-all-learn-from-it/

Anti-Trans+ ideology thrives on the false claim that Trans+ people have no past, no present, and no future But Trans+ folk do exist - always have and always will By uplifting and celebrating Trans+ history, we shatter that narrative #TransHistoryWeek 4th - 10th May 2026

One of the best ways to support @transhistoryweek.com is with a regular donation to ensure our nonprofit social enterprise can keep convening Trans+ History Week each year while investing in future creative talent to surface more stories. Donate here 🙏 www.transhistoryweek.com/donate

We’re currently seeking our third cohort of 20 Trans+ creatives to produce the stories that will be shared in May next year. Working closely with @wearequeeraf.com again. You can pitch here. 👇

Owen’s latest piece articulates why I believe that amplifying our gender diverse history through cultural production will give us a greater foundation, rooted in our common humanity, on which to advocate for our rights.

This week we confirmed our 2026 dates: 4–10 May 2026, anchored by Trans+ History Day on 6 May, the anniversary of the 1933 Nazi raid on the world's first Trans+ clinic.

You know the energy we all give those doom posts? I get that we share that stuff to keep each other informed, for an emotional outlet, to find community and to attempt to sense-make. But it’s also very draining. Let’s bring some of that same energy to positive actions and community creativity. 👇

Lest we forget. The Trans+ people who served and who were lost. And who history forgot.

We’re so proud of this podcast. This recognises the first season of our podcast with QueerAF and the six budding audio producers we invested in to make it. If you haven’t yet listened to the podcast (we now have two seasons of it!) - where have you been? Listen 🎧 👇

Today is Trans Parent Day - a day to celebrate both parents who are trans and parents of trans people. It’s also an opportunity for us to speak about the pride we feel for our loved ones. We’re a group of parents of trans children and adults who care about their future.

Super proud of this podcast. I think this is the third award shortlisting we’ve now had for it! 🥳 Give it a listen 🎧

Another nomination for the incredible @wearequeeraf.com podcast alumni, and the @transhistoryweek.com team! Congrats to everyone involved, and alongside huge names like BBC Radio 4 and the National Trust!

We just had our first applicant to this 🙌 Please continue to share it within your networks. As you can imagine it is quite difficult to reach the right person for this opportunity when you’re a nonprofit with no budget for promoting volunteer roles. Thanks! 🙏

Join our volunteer team We’re seeking two events volunteers to help us make the third Trans+ History Week a success! Will you join us?

You're very welcome 😁 To my shame I can't say I was remotely interested in Trans+ History until I discovered Trans+ History Week - but now that I am I'm acutely aware of how important it is for Trans+ liberation ✊🏼

Trans+ History Week is creating something really special - a space to honour Trans+ history and uplift every Trans+ person Wanna get involved? Volunteer and help celebrate, educate, and empower 👇🏼
