"In a context where anti-trans activists are committed to framing trans experience as a new invention, it’s essential that we share histories which contradict this narrative. " - @krheyam on Before We Were Trans and the importance of #transhistory. ow.ly/Gu0O50JJaC6

"Too often, our narratives of trans history are constrained by narrow modern and Western ideas of what it means to be trans – meaning the trans histories we share are recent, binary, stable, medicalised and overwhelmingly white." - @krheyam ow.ly/YBrS50JJaA6 #transhistory
