There's a frustrating narrative that many pioneers of the modern LGBTQ rights movement were not actually trans.
This focuses on one of the best known: Marsha P. Johnson, and shows that she clearly understood herself to be a trans woman, even if the language differed in her lifetime. (Marsha was at the Stonewall riots.)
@tyghebright Trans erasure from queer history is a consistent problem, because surprise surprise, transphobia continues to be a consistent problem in the queer community -- particularly among white cis gay men.
@tyghebright Haven't folks learned to keep "trans" and any form of "exclusive" far away from each other?
