This week is #TransHistoryWeek, and it's more important than ever to celebrate the vast contributions the Trans and Non-binary community have made to society.

In an ever-increasingly hostile society towards Trans and Non-binary people (just you wait – those doing the targeting will definitely come for the rest of the LGBTQIA+ community), I wholeheartedly support the Trans and Non-binary communities.

Because I believe that our (LGBTQIA+) existence should be represented in education, I've generated a coupon code to get one of my newest resources, Under the Scope, for free.

Written to coincide with LGBTQ+ History Month 2024, this ELT resource looks at trends in LGBTQIA+ mental health and being yourself, focusing on Dr Ewan Forbes.

All you need to do is add the resource to your cart, and add the coupon code THW2025

#Trans people, #women, people of color [#POC] are being erased

Across #Trump’s federal government, agencies have been busy scrubbing photographic and written references about women, people of color & members of the #LGBTQ+ community from their websites.

✨Today, we celebrate ALL women!✨

We stand on the incredible shoulders of Grace Hopper, Ada Lovelace, Sophie Wilson, and many more.

To everyone from underrepresented groups: claim your stage! Now more than ever, we need to uplift voices, share knowledge, and support those whose rights are under pressure.

Leadership needs love, empathy, and warmth. Representation matters. Step up, speak out!

It’s Day 8 of #LGBTQPlusHistoryMonth.

Today’s recommendation is Queer Roma by Dr Lucie Fremlova.

This book offers in-depth insight into the lives of queer Roma, thus providing rich evidence of the heterogeneity of Roma. The lived experiences of queer Roma, which are very diverse regionally and otherwise, pose a fundamental challenge to one-dimensional, negative misrepresentations of Roma as homophobic and antithetical to European and Western modernity.
