<p>Roberta Cowell, or Betty might have been born into a strict, religious family - but her history, is one with many lessons.</p><br><p>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 <a href="https://www.wearequeeraf.com/were-more-than-trans-as-engineer-racer-and-pilot-roberta-cowell-shows-us/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trans+ History Week workbook lesson</a> 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.”</p><br><p>It’s time for the final episode of Season 6 of the QueerAF podcast, once again with Trans+ History Week.</p><br><p><strong>Episode Credits:</strong> Hosted and produced by Amber Deveraux and <a href="https://tincanaudio.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tin Can Audio</a>.
