'Trans+ History Week is a week-long reflective period to learn and celebrate the momentous and millennia-old history of transgender, non-binary, gender-diverse and Intersex people.
Trans+ History Week is a social enterprise to ensure it's activity benefits the community and a QueerAF Launchpad project.
It's a week to build on and celebrate the work that incredible Trans+ archivers, historians and content creators are already doing, launched after consultation and with support from some of the UK's largest LGBTQIA+ organisations, trailblazers, elders and activists.'
Here at Consortium, we have created this dedicated webpage to celebrate Trans+ History Week! This includes a list of useful resources that have been collated by our trans and non-binary
team members on things such as music, artists, books, etc.
We will also be uplifting and amplifying our trans and non-binary member organisations throughout the week!
