It's the last day of LGBT+ History month and it's important to remember that people are making LGBTQ+ history every single day.
In 2023, Henry Tse and another trans man won a court case that led to trans people in Hong Kong being able to change their ID card without having had surgery.

Self-determination for trans people is nothing new. Sir Ewan Forbes changed the sex on his birth certificate in the 1940s, announced his new name in the newspaper and legally married his wife. His cousin challenged the change for reasons of inheritance, but the judge ruled in Ewan’s favour.
If you want to know more about Ewan, there's a great book about him: The Hidden Case of Ewan Forbes by Zoë Playdon.

You don't need us to tell you that trans, non-binary and gender nonconforming people have always been around. However, did you know that the ancient Mesopotamians believed in a deity with the power to change someone's gender? Her name was Innana and her priests and followers were known for their rejection of gender binaries.

Yes we know it's not quite February, but we love our history Thursdays here at TransActual.
If you've not heard of Lou Sullivan, look him up. He was a gay, HIV positive, trans man and he did a huge amount for our community in the US and beyond. Lou 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.

We've been sharing lots of history related articles over the past week - obviously because it's #LGBTHistoryMonth in the UK, but also because there's a lot to be gained by knowing our history.

All too often, timelines of key milestones in trans and/or broader LGBTQ+ history entirely ignore the work and histories of people in the global majority.
That's one of the reasons we love the timeline on the Trans and Intersex History in Africa website.
Take a look at the timeline of the trans and intersex movement in Africa at: https://transintersexhistory.africa/timeline-trans-intersex-africa/
