Interesting that this article on #trans folks in history doesn't mention #JanMorris, one of the best travel writers EVER. I read her work probably 50 years ago...before I learned she was trans. An incredibly brave woman, she was one of the earliest public transitions. Died in 2020 at 94. Important fact: she said in her published diary/memoir that she ate marmalade every day. That's my girl!

Trump claims there are only '2 genders.' Historians say that's never been true | CBC News

The Trump administration's 'two gender' policy is sparking fear and confusion among trans and non-binary people. The executive order claims it's a return to "biological facts," but experts say it ignores both biological and historical reality — that humans have never fit into just two sexes or two genders.

For my local magazine writing I get a Book (Waterstones) Gift Card. Which as I buy lots of books second hand, is difficult to use! However I found a book for my Mum's birthday ( not pictured) and then used inspiration from #JooniesLibrary on Twitter for a bit of mind stretching!!

Note: I'm not doing well with my British Empire #JanMorris book but nearly finished #ShopGirls

#Reading I have a stack of unread books! So I've started #JanMorris #HeavensCommand about British Empire/ Queen Victoria. Except she wrote it in 1973 so a few things have so far troubled me. So I went to look at reviews, and now I am more upset about the reviews! Jan was trans, this book is under her name Jan, but some people have listed and reviewed it under her birth name James & used masculine pronouns.
It seems we have a myriad of changes since 1837 #accession #QueenVictoria
Today is #transdayofvisibility ! Celebrating Jan Morris (1926-2020)- a Welsh trans woman whose 1974 memoir Conundrum was instrumental to the visibility of trans people and our transitions in the 20th Century. #traws #trawsryweddol #janmorris #LHDTC

Jan Morris (Conté stick on toned card)

Today’s LGBTQ+ hero is historian, author and travel writer Jan Morris (1926-2020). She began transitioning in 1964 and wrote one of the great trans autobiographies, Conundrum (1972). Oh, and she was also part of the famous 1953 Everest expedition.
