The Transgender Initiative is built around the idea of creating a communal, safe place for people from all across the gender spectrum, along with their allies, to meet, gather, and provide a supportive and welcoming social environment. As an initiative of the LGBT Center of Raleigh, our mission is to help build community with self-identified or perceived transgender, gender variant, or gender non-

conforming individuals and trans-positive organizations in the greater NC Triangle region. We move into facilitation and actualization of our thriving co-created community by nourishing and expanding support, education, activism, awareness, the arts, advocacy, wellness, health, resource creation, empowerment, visibility, acceptance, and self-determination for all transgender, gender variant, and gender non-conforming people.

*Due to COVID-19, all of the Transgender Initiative programs are being held virtually at this time.*

Ewan Forbes was a Scottish nobleman who began his transition at age 15, around 1927. He was among the first transgender Europeans to have their gender accepted in court after his cousin sued to inherit his baronetcy. The court eventually ruled in Ewan's favor in 1968 and he inherited his family's 17th century pink castle in Brux. The massive estate was reportedly an inspiration for Walt Disney's castle design.

I was completely captivated by these photos of him so I decided to colorize them. That's him with his wife Isabella Mitchell on the left (1966) and a golden lab named "Stolen Day" on the right (1952).

Ewan published a 1984 memoir, The Aul' Days, which focused on his different journeys. More recently, Zoë Playdon wrote The Hidden Case of Ewan Forbes. It follows Ewan's legal case and transition.
