Transgender History Month

Transgender people have always been here.


This August, we honour the rich, complex, and often overlooked history of transgender and other marginalised genders outside of the Anglocentric gender binary.


From the resistance of the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot in August 1966, to quiet acts of care and survival across generations, transgender history is a legacy of courage, creativity, and collective strength.


So called Australia has its own transgender trailblazers:

Norrie May-Welby’s fight for legal recognition,

Sally Goldner’s decades of grassroots advocacy,

and countless others whose stories deserve space and respect.


Transgender history is not only about struggle. It is also about joy, protest, art, kinship, and love.


This month is a time to reflect, to listen, and to make space, not just for visibility, but for truth, dignity, and future generations.

I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land where I live and work, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations. I acknowledge that this land was never ceded and always was, always will be Aboriginal land. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

I celebrate, value and include people of all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, cultures, age groups, spiritual beliefs, physical abilities and disabilities.
