i wonder what te//rfs think about the founding of the entire modern gay movement… which was built on the backs of black trans women… without those girls being recognized as girls, being a lesbian today would be so much harder??? how disrespectful
being a lesbian today would be so much harder
I’m sure the irony of parroting the genderist Stonewall lie invented by the same people who colonize the gay community and call lesbians gross fetishists for not giving romantic attention to men who call themselves women is lost on OP.
“parroting the genderist Stonewall lie” is probably the weirdest response I’ve gotten to this post? Do y’all not think it happened? It happened… whatever tho, y’all can love your vaginas in your own transphobic zone, in fact y’all can just take mine too. next time read tags
“y’all can love your vaginas in your own transphobic zone” nice homophobia lol
anyway, the idea that stonewall alone is the birth of the gay rights movement and that it was led by trans women is historical revisionism. stonewall was about gay men and lesbians. marsha p johnson was a gay man and he knew this. he presented and dressed in a traditionally feminine fashion, braking the gender roles imposed on him as a man. the revisionism of stonewall is a disgrace to his memory lmao
Yeah Marsha P Johnson said multiple times that he identified as a gay man and openly laughed at the people who thought he was a woman.
I really don’t understand the disconnect, if someone has said multiple times “I am a man” and you continue to say “no you’re a transwoman”.
What on earth is the disconnect? Why do you think you know more about this man than he does? If you respect someone you don’t ignore what they say about themselves, and make up an identity for them to self serve. That’s the purest form of disrespect. You are not entitled to decide who Marsha p Johnson was. He was who he said he was. He said he was a man and honestly when radfems are respecting someone’s requested gender identity more than libfems are there is something amiss.
americans are so self centered its unreal – always behaving as though there is no other country on this planet???? wild
Reminder that even according to Marsha P Johnson’s own accountshe wasn’t at the start of the Stonewall Riots:
It’s infuriating that these people claim we “don’t know our own history” while actively parroting lies and revisionist takes. The neohomophobia is STRONG.
It’s so disrespectful how genderists try to claim Johnson was a straight trans woman instead of a gay man fighting for gay rights and then use him as a weapon against other gay men and lesbians. ESPECIALLY since he wasn’t even part of the initial stonewall uprising (neither was Rivera). This is such a clear example of erasure and yet it’s so widespread. What’s worse, anyone who tries to point out the truth gets labeled a terf! Tumblr culture really has circled right about around to being homophobic.
