Selected Works from Amrita Sher-Gil
Amrita Sher-Gil remains one of the most revered women in the Indian art world, with her paintings among the most expensive in the country. Born into luxury in Hungary, she chose to go to India to share the lives of those who were most often ignored, painting women and people living in poverty. She worked to showcase the complexity of their lives through her work. For most of her short career, she sought the stories of those who had been overlooked.
Unfortunately, her mother burned her early letters describing her relationships with women. When Amrita learned this, she was horrified. Fortunately, the burning of these documents has not completely erased her identity. In fact, most sources discuss her bisexuality openly. Considering her multiple relationships with women throughout her life, it is hard to ignore.
You can find these works and more in our gallery!

Magnus Hirschfeld coined "transsexualism" (transsexualismus) in 1923. Surprisingly, nobody has digitized the speech where he first used the term until today. After a series of requests, I finally got ahold of The Intersexual Constitution and translated it: https://transreads.org/theintersexualconstitution/

(if you want an explanation, lgbt history month is february in the uk bc section 28 was repealed in february of 2003 and black history month is october because that is traditionally when african leaders meet up to talk about important issues.
black history month in the us and canada is february bc abraham lincoln and frederick douglass were both born in february and played huge parts in the abolition of slavery and lgbt history month is october bc the first and second lgbt marches on washington were in october and so is national coming out day)

Rare Language Learning: Polari
If you have ever used the words:
- Naff
- Butch
- Camp
You have unknowingly been speaking the sociolect known as Polari, the language of queer people primarily used in the 30s to the 70s. Polari is now and endangered language, as labelled by the University of Cambridge
Something of note: Many resources out there imply (or state) that Polari was a language invented and used solely by white cis gay men, which is decidedly untrue. Many words of Polari come from drag culture, lesbians, and the Romani people and their language. The use of ‘the language of British gay men’ may be a more palatable title to the general public, but it is not to me. I did my best to curate a variety of resources, but unfortunately much of queer history has been lost many more decades than I’ve been alive, if you have any other resources for studying Polari I would love to read them, message me or leave a link in the replies.

Mis Hanes LHDT+ 2023 : Gair y Dydd #4 -Trawsryweddol
LGBT+ History Month 2023: Word of the day #4 -Transgender
Trawsryweddol
(adj. Transgender)
Like Lesbiaidd and Deurywiol, the knowledge of the emergence of Traws into the Welsh language is misty. It is known that trans terminology entered the Welsh langauge in the 20th Century, but it is not known when exactly.
As with all of my other words of the day so far, much of my data is dictionary based. You can see my blogs about LGBT+ Welsh terminology in dictionaries here.
Trans terminology does not appear in my data until 1981! Y Geiriadur Cymraeg Cyfoes is the earliest instance of trans terminology recorded with Trawsrywiol (transsexual). More than a decade passes until it appears again in 1993, in the Hippocrene Standard Dictionary Welsh-English English-Welsh as Trawsrywiol.
Geiriadur Yr Academi in 1995 expands on the terminology, including the terms Trawsrywiol (Transsexual), Trawsrywiolyn/-iolion (A transsexual/transsexuals), Trawsrywiolen (Transsexuals), Trawsrywioledd (Transsexuality).
In 2016 the introduction of -rhywedd (gender) instead of-ryw (sex) is printed in Geiriadur Cymraeg Gomer as Trawsryweddol (Transgender) alongside Trawsrywiol. Since then, the two terms are often printed together in dictionaries.

Hey guys! There's only 2 days left of February after now, and so I would like to share a fun fact before it's too late.
Some of you, being in America, will be celebrating Black History Month! But did you know that in the UK queer people are celebrating LGBTQ History Month?
Unlike the famous Pride Month in America, LGBTQ History Month is celebrated in the UK in February due to the scrapping of Section 28 back in 2003 (2000, however, for Scotland).
Section 28 was somewhat similar to the Don't Say Gay bill you may have heard of recently with how it stated that homosexuality could not be "intentionally promoted" in schools. Local authorities couldn't do this either alongside the publishing of material containing homosexual relations. This was put into effect by Margaret Thatcher in 1988.
It's eventual scrapping by England and Wales in 2003 is why we celebrate this month and not June. While there are many more steps to go, I am thankful my homosexuality does not need to be repressed in my school life.
