Trans History! - Alan L. Hart
It's Trans Awareness Month and Trans Awareness Week! ✨🎉
So to celebrate, let's look at some historical trans and gender-non-conforming people! Starting with Alan L. Hart, a trans man, medical pioneer and writer.
Whilst words like 'transgender' and 'non-binary' etc, have only been in the public lexicon in recent decades, the experiences and identities they represent have always existed and it's so important (and interesting!) that we look at these historic figures as proof that queer, has always been here. I have a couple more people for these posts lined up, but if you have any other historic figures you'd like me to research and illustrate, please sound off in the comments!

"Milieu: Gay Berlin" - an exploration of LGBT+ identities in the Weimar Republic (1920's Germany).
Based on "Gay Berlin" by Robert Beachy.
Did you know the roaring 20s have *always* been queer, both 100 years ago and now?

Note: I didn't have enough space to cover Dr. Magnus Hirschfield properly but he will be the subject of my next infographic. Dr. Hirschfield was a gay Jewish doctor and activist who created the first medical institute (Institut für Sexualwissenschaft) for LGBT+ people. He pioneered transgender care!

Made this infographic as a guide for people who want to support their favorite artists but aren't totally sure how. This only serves as a general guide, and will be slightly different depending on the artist. Also, I know it says "small" artists but this can apply to any artist of any size!

I think part of what helped my dysphoria in the short-term was to remember that human bodies are varied, but wow, they're also so similar, and that my body doesn't really differ from many men.
When I'm dysphoric about my chest? Well, other men are, too, and that means I'm not the only person like me. I've also done some research into human anatomy and biology, and it's taught me so much. The idea that male and female bodies are, like, separate species is patently false. The structure of the "average" male and female are actually more similar than you'd think, and that makes sense. When I'm dysphoric, I remember that little fact. Does it help every time? No, but it reminds me to slow down and remember that I'm not a species separate from everybody else.
This isn't to say this cures dysphoria. I'm still dysphoric, but at least reframing how I view myself and my body allows me to help myself. This is just one of my personal ways I help myself, and I hope it might perhaps give other people ideas or inspiration if they are in a similar place.

This is an infographic I had to make for class about myself so I’m using it as an intro post for new followers.

I just want to say I’ve been seeing an alarming increase in antisemitism on the internet lately and a profound lack of vocal allyship. I originally wrote shocking lack of vocal allyship but I expect extremely little allyship as a Jew.

LGBTQ+ History Month - Alfred Kinsey!
The second instalment of the LGBTQ+ Historic figures for this month is Alfred Kinsey! Sometimes referred to as the father of sexual liberation, his studies, whilst shocking at the time helped launch sexology as an in-depth field of study and helped us gain a better understanding of sex and sexuality in humans! How cool is that?!
Whilst the term 'bisexual' as we know it today wasn't popularised until after Kinsey's death, his biographies and testimonies from his wife and peers confirm the Kinsey had sexual relationships with men and women.
The Kinsey scale helped demonstrate how sexuality is a spectrum and not a strict black and white structure. The scale (which ranged from 0-6) was later adjusted with the addition of 'X' to represent no sexual reactions. Obviously each persons' sexuality is nuanced and unique, and doesn't necessarily need to be condensed into a graph, but Kinsey's initial studies helped break though previously very rigid, heteronormative and conservative beliefs around sex, which is amazing!

A little-discussed practice in injectable hormones is that one must alternate their injection sights. For example, I inject in the thigh area intramuscularly. Last week, I had injected in the lower half of my thigh, and this week, I injected in the lower right.
By alternating where you inject, your body is given more time to heal. This ensures that there is less of a chance for your body to build up scar tissue, which is less than ideal.
