The 2026 workbook - which can be downloaded here - is designed for anyone who wants to run a session or create content about trans history and is structured around four lessons, each of which is anchored in a specific historical event or community and paired with discussion prompts and facilitation guidance. "We're more than Trans+" looks at the long history of gender diversity in family models.

Eli Erlick's journey "starts with my story being a trans girl who came out in 2003 - before we were supposed to have existed, according to the mainstream media right now," she tells PinkNews. A couple of years ago, frustrated with the "erasure of trans history" and continued anti-trans narratives, she began writing a history book. It spotlights underreported trans stories from 1850 to 1950, including some experiences that "haven't been told in 120 years".
