christineburns, 17 days ago Celebrating the diversity of the trans community. This week is a chance to spotlight the diversity of the trans community and learn about trans identities from different cultures. After all, trans communities and gender diversity aren't unique to only one culture, time or demographic. E.g. The Hijra community 'Hijra' is used as an umbrella term to encompass a range of gender non-conforming identities. In South Asia, the Hijra have been historically categorised as a third gender, distinct from the male/female binary. Trans people have always been at the heart of LGBTQ+ liberation. Trans people are and have always been integral to LGBTQ+ movements. In fact, trans people led the movement at Stonewall which prompted LGBTQ+ rights movements around the world and led to the existence of Pride as we know it. Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera were on the frontline at the Stonewall uprising, risking their lives to fight for LGBTQ+ liberation and equality.
