This we're focussing specifically on what trans people can do to look after our mental health. It's especially important at the moment because there's seems to be a new thing to contend with in the news every week.

Take a look at this piece from Gay Times and Not A Phase: 5 ways to cope with the distressing news cycle as a trans+ person

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.

Each day this Trans+ History Week, we're featuring (at least) one trans person who has made history or who continues to make history.

If you've not heard of Lou Sullivan, look him up. He was an HIV positive, gay trans man and a community organiser and activist. He lobbied for gay, trans men to be given access to medical transition. He was visible so that other gay, trans men could see that they weren’t alone.
