Find out in this episode from the latest series of the @wearequeeraf.com podcast with @transhistoryweek.com 🧵
www.wearequeeraf.com/the-tension-...
The tension and dependency of the handkerchief - do you feel it too?
From the hanky code, to the oh so queer cravat - how much do we depend on objects, to express our queer and Trans+ identities?

I feel a spiritual kinship with the organisers of Lilith Fair.

The magic of that moment. Of building infrastructure yourself. Of flying while putting the wings on the plane. Of making mistakes and learning and growing together. Of carving out space in a hostile climate. Of love and community.

On Sunday I completed the matching of artists to writers for the Trans+ History Week features that will be released in May next year with QueerAF.

This is the third year of doing this and each time it is one of the most exciting moments of the project.

We sometimes talk about 'hard-to-reach' communities in the media, but 450 Trans+ people applied for the 20 opportunities in this campaign - not so hard after all eh?
