Trans+ History Week is a global celebration of the history of gender-diverse people, including trans, non-binary and Intersex people. Now entering its third year, the event has rapidly gained traction, winning recognitions including the 2025 Rainbow Honours “Highly Commended” Community Initiative of the Year and garnering support from 69 MPs in an early day motion recognising the week in 2025.
The 2026 edition will bring the Trans+ community together to share and learn from stories of gender-diverse people past and present—through flagship events in the UK, online articles and podcasts, free learning resources, workplace sessions and more.
Trans+ History Week is organised by Trans+ History Week CIC, a Trans+ led nonprofit and social enterprise, with storytelling and talent development programmes delivered in close partnership with award-winning nonprofit media platform QueerAF CIC.
2026 dates: 4–10 May 2026, anchored by Trans+ History Day on 6 May, the anniversary of the 1933 Nazi raid on the world's first Trans+ clinic.
