This time it´s a brief summery of the history of the hijra community. Some call it the oldest trans community in the world, but since the British colonisation of India hijras have gone from being adored as divine to being treated as deviant.

Dr Alan L Hart was at the forefront of tuberculosis treatment and radiology, and a writer of books concerned with medicine, sexuality, and gender. He was also one of the very first trans people to go through gender affirming procedures in the US.

This time we dive into more recent times and talk about a person who is still living and still actively influencing the lgbtq community: Judith Butler. She is best known for transforming our entire belief system surrounding gender in 1990, and since then she has continued to contribute through activism and academia.

In this episode we meet Sappho - or rather the many ideas of who Sappho might have been. We hardly know anything about this wonderful poet, but still the (sometimes very dramatic) discussions about her and her poetry have been going on since Ancient Greece.

Today we´re meeting Marsha P. Johnson - mother of modern lgbtq activism and absolutely killing it with her hair do´s even through the darkest of times. Maybe you already know all there is to know about her, maybe not, but either way you can join me for fifteen minutes to commemorate this wonderful queen!

This week we´re learning about Mwanga II, king of Buganda in pre-colonial Uganda and described by contemporaries as gay. Why did he kill 30 Christian pages? How did the British colonize Buganda And how is he talked about today in a country where same sex relationships are punishable with life imprisonment?

In this episode I talk about Christina, queen of Sweden and so radically trans even their contemporaries called them king.

Episode 2 is about the great composer Ethel Smyth.

In this first episode of Someone will remember us I say even in another time (or Someone will remember us for short)we meet Oscar Wilde, a dandy, a writer, and the first modern celebrity.
