1/x #QueerHistory #LGBTQ #Selbstbestimmungsgesetz #TransHeute ist der 90te Jahrestag der Zerstörung des Berliner #InstitutFürSexualwissenschaft von Dr. Magnus #Hirschfeld. Warum das wichtig ist: ein Thread. 
2/x Viele wollen trans als etwas neues, einen Trend darstellen aber das ist es keineswegs. Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld gründete das Institut im Jahr 1919 und forschte unter anderem auch daran. Vor über 100 Jahren. Unter der Aufsicht des Institutes führten Dr. Levy-Lenz und...
3/x ... Erwin Gohrbandt 1931/32 die erste Geschlechtsangleichende OP an Dora "Dorchen" Richter durch. Dies geschah noch ein paar Monate vor der bekannteren #LiliElbe.
Dieses Wochenende könnte ich endlich die Ausstellung TO BE SEEN in @nsdoku besichtigen. Ein glitzernder 🧵darüber, warum dies eine der besten Queer-Ausstellungen ist, die ich bisher in Deutschland gesehen habe.

Zunächst einmal ist es im Jahr 2023 –und auf Deutsch Bitteschön– wunderbar zu sehen, dass eine Ausstellung und Kurator*innen die Idee der queeren Geschichte verstehen. Take Notes! 2⃣

Ebenso ist es großartig, dass sie Besucher*innen mit einem Glossar ausstatten, das ihnen hilft, mit Begriffen umzugehen, mit denen sie vielleicht nicht vertraut sind. Dies war auch auf der Queerness in Photography bei C/O der Fall. 😍

I'm back to my live read of Bishop Steven Croft's booklet about the Church of England potentially becoming more inclusive of gay marriage and relationships.
Hopefully can finish tonight.

Previous thread is here, which went into the Bible stuff. I think this final section is the practical stuff. Let's see.
Part of this section is about keeping the Global Church together, and suggestion the whole church is discussing LGBTQI+ existence at the moment.
Frankly, it's amazing we are surviving at the moment on the UK, and I know it's even harder in some places worldwide.

Today's #Mastodon pitch: @torstenkathke's open-access spreadsheet of historians who've made the leap now has more than 350 names. There are similar lists of lit scholars, philosophers, astronomers, etc. going around. See next tweets for sign-up tips: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
@torstenkathke First time I looked at Mastodon I found it visually confusing. I'm 46, not an internet native. I needed to go to preferences and adjust the appearance before it made sense. For me that meant: 1)site theme: light, advanced view, and ( vital) SLOW mode so it didn't auto-scroll +
@torstenkathke I was also confused about servers (or instances). Mastodon is decentralized. There are many different independent servers, which are are all linked together (federated). You can join any server and follow people on any other server. I joined the biggest Mastodon.social
Issues in Human Sexuality Live Read, by me. From 1991 (90 years after Havelock Ellis published Sexual Inversion, 30 years after Robert Wood's book calling for full inclusion). Is this the most contemporary Church of England account of sexuality prior to LLF?

I'm not going page by page and line by line, especially because I speak an entirely different language to the writers - one in which I do not need to finish my sentences with quite random Bible verse quotes often unrelated to the real Content. #IssuesInHumanSexuality #drappissues
"In Genesis 2 the man, as a royal figure, has authority over the woman."
As a Royal Figure? 👑 WTF?
The man has authority because he gives her a name? 🧙♂️
It will take men away from their family homes. In all cultures? I think not.

I'm back on Havelock today. Had to take a break to read the wonderful Heaven Come Down book from Chrissie. But now I'm back. #havelockellis
Part 2 is here. If you missed it.
Honestly Have, for all his faults, is an engaging writer and drops take downs into his writing with greatest of ease.
He discusses how when the 'sexual instinct' first appears in youth it is often not specifically directed, and mentions that women are often forced on young -

These photos of the love, care and attention given to Georgia Black shortly befit her death in June 1951. The woman combing her hair is the sister of her husband. ♥ A church leader (and of Women's Missionary Society), her story as a trans woman was protected
by her Pastor, of a Methodist Church.
Her funeral was attended by Black and white mourners, described in Black on Both Sides as, "a remarkable gesture of desegregation" at the time.

The care and dignity shown to this woman in 1951 touched me deeply.
