This Trans Day Of Remembrance, I beg you—honor some trans ancestors who haven't yet been uplifted by history. I've personally been finding comfort in @margaret.bsky.social's excellent series on the Gallae. Especially if you are cis: please take the time to learn our history. We very much know yours.
