Happy International Women's Day

[liv]

To the women from all over the world I'm privileged to know, and everybody who loves international women.

I have been saving up some articles for the occasion: here are two marvellous bios of trans lesbian elders.

Jan Morris. [Content note: the article is in the Guardian which takes a somewhat transphobic editorial stance, though this article is very positive towards trans women. However it does deadname Morris and includes a picture of her from back when she was presenting as male.]

Sandy Stone, a couple of years old from Vice but it came to my attention recently.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/cymrufyw/51770605 - this is a far nicer article by Twm Morys (Jan & Elizabeth Morris's son) - run it through Google Translate, or use the vocab tool if you've got a little welsh.

I really enjoyed the Jan Morris article, with those caveats. She's lived such an amazing life!
