Treat Me Like Your Mother: Trans* Histories From Beirut’s Forgotten Past

by Cold Cuts Magazine, Mohamad Abdouni (editor-in-chief), Joy Stacey (editor)

TREAT ME LIKE YOUR MOTHER pays tribute to trans* women, “tanteit” (fr; ladies, aunties) and femme men who have been largely erased from Beirut’s history.

Working with LGBTQI+ NGO Helem, the Cold Cuts team spoke to and photographed ten ladies aged between their late thirties and late fifties (whose stories are presented in both English and Arabic), all with very different stories that collectively paint an unprecedented picture of Beirut’s past.
