Trans+ History Week @transhistoryweek.com · 03/05/2026
Trans+ History Week 2026 is here! 🏳️‍⚧️ To the hate and headlines, our history answers loud and clear... We’ve always been here. Always will be.
Graphic for Trans+ History Week, featuring a dark purple ribbon-style banner that zig-zags down the centre of the image. The words "TRANS+" (light blue), "HISTORY" (light pink), and "WEEK" (white) are written in bold, sans-serif capital letters on the different folds of the ribbon. At the bottom, the dates "04–10 MAY 2026" are displayed in pink and light blue. The background is a textured gradient of soft pink on the left and light blue on the right, mimicking the colours of the Transgender Pride flag.
