If you could travel back in time to perform an interview, and you only get to pick between Marsha P. Johnson or Anaïs Nin, who would you choose and what would be your first question?
Greetings, Historians!

“Pay it no mind.” — Marsha P. Johnson

If you could highlight one moment in LGBTQ+ history that began with a single act of courage that changed the course of the community, which moment would you choose to share?
@Glory_feeling2 Hey there! Not sure that one would count! We're looking for positive impacts - a single act of courage - that changed the course of the community. Our example was Marsha P. Johnson and we'll be releasing an article dedicated to her soon!
@HistoricalFiction Can I say the one in modern times? This one is where the US president is banning transgender people to enter the military. Exactly why, I have no idea. Does he think gays are too weak to deal with the combat and all the military training? Sheesh! In my opinion, anyone who has a mind to get something done, puts hard work into it, can pass! Maybe, it's him who's the problem, heard that when Trump was younger, he was about to be drafted, but made an excuse to back out. Jealousy might be the culprit.
Greetings Historians,
It is time for this month's Undiscovered Historical!

There lived a girl in the quarters of the imperial palace. Her origins unknown. She wasn't of much importance except for her scholarly knowledge. What others knew was that she was the daughter of the court minister of the Emperor. But what they didn't know was that, there was more to what was just merely seen and known to all.
But one day, her fate got sealed with the Crown Prince but soon enough that seal broke again. What followed was a transmigration to the 21st century, and she became a part of a mysterious system.
But well, she wasn't the only one who got transmigrated...
