“We have a history, transgender people, we have a culture and that we have older people who have made it through all kinds of abuses and negotiated their way to get here. Not a lot of us ― but there are some and to help them realize that things they expect and think are normal ― you are standing on someone’s shoulders who couldn’t do that in their youth.”

There's a lot going on at the moment for trans people, a lot of it's not pleasant. It can be really easy to fall into a habit of doomscrolling.

The Samaritans have a really useful resource about it:

We've been hearing an increasing number of reports of trans people's GPs refusing to prescribe their HRT to them - even if they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic requesting that they do.

That's why we're created our new My GP is Refusing to Prescribe My HRT resource:

Has your GP recently refused to prescribe you HRT? Let us know at https://tinyurl.com/TransActualHRT

ILGA Europe’s Rainbow map is out today - note the steady downward trend in scores for the UK.

On a day that the press is reporting that schools will have to teach that the belief that trans people are who they say they are is a “contested belief” it of course is of no surprise.

Things are tough for trans folk who n the UK at the moment - be there for each other and remember that we will get through this and things can and will get better.

Trans people have always been here, but too often our histories are hidden.

Have you heard of Jim McHarris? He was born in 1924 and socially transitioned in his early teens. He moved around a lot, but then decided to settle in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Unfortunately, other residents of the town soon discovered Jim’s gender history and he moved on once again.

We found out about him though this article from Trans Griot: http://transgriot.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/black-trans-history-jim-mcharris.html

“Trans people aren’t a threat to anyone; hate born by ignorance is. All trans (including non binary) people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, no matter who we are and where we are at with our medical and social transition. Look beyond the hype and fear-mongering in the press. Become the representation you want to see yourself.” Fox Fisher

Elagabalus was made a Roman Emperor at the age of just 14. The Emperor often wore wigs and makeup, and liked to be referred to by feminine titles. Elagabalus reportedly offered a large sum of money to any doctor who could give them a vagina.
