lgbtqhistory

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.

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.
