Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives. QueerAF is written by Jamie Wareham and a different queer creative each week.
💬 This week:
- Trans+ History Week. Together with trans non-binary creative Marty Davies and with support from Trans+, LGBTQIA+ and media organisations we've launched a new initiative. We set out why it's so crucial.
- Reclassified. In perhaps the perfect example of why our new initiative is needed, we help you understand how historians worked out a Roman Emperor was actually transgender.
- Adult Human Female. The controversial documentary was screened this week after nearly two years of attempts failed following intense protests. We explore.
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
It’s time for the Trans+ history lesson we never had
TL;DR: Knowledge of our past is fundamental for our liberation. It’s the way we shut down the pernicious lie that we’re a modern invention. It’s time to collect, platform and share our rich history, which is as long as all of human life. That’s why I’m establishing Trans+ History Week 6–12 May 2024.
