It's my favorite time of year: 🏳️⚧️ the UVic Trans Histories Museum! 🖼️ Tracing ✨glimpses & glimmers✨ of trans life from antiquity to the present, my undergrads recreate lost objects of #transhistory for display in a pop-up museum, this year hosted by Special Collections Buckle in 🥲

I love to start '25 off with herstory at #AHA2025 ! I spoke on how the preponderance of white, middleclass crossdressers structured the influence of homophobic, racist, & whorephobic discourses within certain 20thC trans femme Western subcultures #twitterstorians American Historical Association





As this newest anti-trans onslaught begins, trans life continues! I am defiantly happy to share my first book review! It is on the wonderfully trans & queer as hell 🕮 “Kids on the Street," by Joseph Plaster! Check it out in Journal of the History of Sexuality muse.jhu.edu/pub/15/article… #histsex #queerhist

good response from the LGBTQ+ History Association (of which I am a proud lifetime member) to the digital book burnings of queer & trans coverage by the Nazi MAGA fucks running the country. wonder whether American Historical Association will co-sign, or is this "political"? clgbthistory.org/2025/02/announ…
