How to save Trans+ stories in an age they can be deleted with just a click?

How to save Trans+ stories in an age they can be deleted with just a click?

We live in an era where algorithms are filtering queer and Trans+ stories, and worse - where whole archives of LGBTQIA+ content are being deleted. Ahead of us may be worse, active rhetoric and regimes that seek to erase us in public life too. How do we fight back, in small ways, by saving Trans+ stories now, for future generations? Historian Dr Rebecca Jane Morgan, director of Trans+ Solidarity Alliance and QueerAF alumni Alex Parmar-Yee and historian drag artist HRH Aphrodite I join guest host, and QueerAF podcast alumni Ki Griffin in this live episode at the Trans+ History Week community event 2026.
