Roberta Cowell, or Betty might have been born into a strict, religious family - but her history, is one with many lessons.
She shows us that Trans+ people are more than just their identity. That Trans+ people deserve to tell their own stories. That, as Sabah Choudrey wrote in this year’s Trans+ History Week workbook lesson about her - “while positive trans representation matters, you don’t need to see yourself represented to know that you can live authentically, and be trans, happy and celebrated.”
It’s time for the final episode of Season 6 of the QueerAF podcast, once again with Trans+ History Week.
Episode Credits: Hosted and produced by Amber Deveraux and Tin Can Audio. Voiceover from Ashleigh Talbot. With thanks to guests Charlie Martin and Victoria Scott. Executive production by Jamie Wareham. This episode was supported by Publicis Groupe UK.
