Sylvia Riveras powerful speech against the exclusion of transgender people at the Gay Pride Rally NYC, 1973.

[averybellearchive-deactivated20]

Transcript:

Y'all better quiet down! I've been trying to get up here all day for your gay brothers and your gay sisters in jail that write me every motherfucking week and ask for your help! And you all don't do a goddamn thing for them! And they write STAR, not the woman's group! They do not write women, they do not write men, they write to STAR! Because we're trying to do something for them! But you all tell me to go and hide my tail between my legs! I will not put up with this shit! I have been beaten, I have had my nose broken, I have been thrown in jail, I have lost my job, I have lost my apartment for gay liberation, and you all treat me this way?! What the fuck's wrong with you all?! Think about that! I believe in the gay power, I believe in us getting our rights, or else I would not be out there fighting for our rights, that's all I wanted to say to you people. Come and see people at STAR House on Twelfth Street, the people that are trying to do something for all of us, and not men and women that belong to our white middle class club! And that's what you all belong to! Revolution now! Gay power! Know the gay power!

Once you start noticing the erasure and exclusion of trans mascs in everything from media to academics you can never stop noticing it

[burning-gray-mon]

Back when I was in university we were asked to do a brief research exercise on a health condition impacting a community. Can't remember what I wanted to look at now, but it was something to do with the trans community.

Whatever it was, to put it this way, if there were 10 studies on the trans community as a whole, there were 3 on trans women and trans fems and 0 on trans men and trans mascs, and 0 on nonbinary people. All of the mixed studies were also pretty much useless for my purposes as well because they were all so lopsided.

I think I swapped to a bunch of different things - addiction rates, smoking, depression, mental health in general - nothing that was even roughly equal in looking at all of us. Trans men, trans mascs and nonbinary people are so under researched as to be nonexistent.

To keep this brief since I've rambled a bunch - this is a major issue health wise since we have not a lot of literature on what testosterone does to certain bodies. This can lead to major health complications, not because of the testosterone itself, but because there might be an interaction thats missed or a complication that's not noticed (which is the same for any medication that's under researched on certain bodies. This is not me scaring people off of hrt, this is me pointing out its a medication like any other.)

#the therapist who wrote my permission slip for hrt was a trans man#and during that appointment we talked about the erasure of trans men from basically everything#and i talked about an article i had read a week or so earlier about trans people and hiv#it very in depth about risks prevention treatment etc#except that it exclusively referenced trans women with a single sentence at the end basically saying 'oh trans men are at risk too'#less than a year later i saw that same therapist speaking at an hiv organization fundraising event#he talked about how he had just recently been diagnosed with hiv#and had to sit there while this doctor told him all about how the treatment options had never been tested on trans men#none of them#they knew that the treatment would work#but not how effective it would be in comparison to its effectiveness in other demographics#no idea what kind of side effects he might experience#how it would interact with his body and his hormones#what the long term effects would be#nothing#he had to sit there while his doctor told him he would have to be a guinea pig but its not like he has a choice#the only alternative is dying from aids#that whole thing was kind of a wake up call for me#and i started paying more attention getting tested regularly myself and all that sruff you're supposed to do#and over time i befriended the person who did most of my testing#they were also trans masc and we would talk about this kind of stuff#and i told them i wanted to get on prep but every doctor i asked had a wildly different answer on if i even could take it#which verison i could take etc#and they said that only one form of prep has been approved fot trans men but its never actually been tested on trans men#and that one version isnt good for long term use because it has some pretty serious side effects long term#and they said that they regularly go to conferences and meet with representatives from all these drug companies#and they ask 'wheres the data on trans men' 'when are you doing clinical studies on trans men'#and the answer#every single time is: we have not done any studies on trans men and we have no intention to ever do studies on trans men#this is not some passive result of trans masc invisibility it is an active act of erasure that needs to be recognized as an act of violence

And then people say things like that when we point out that we're just.... Actively erased and ignored.

I Love Boosters (2026) dir. Boots Riley TEASER TRAILER | IN THEATERS MAY 22

[elfyourmother]

Went to a live Q&A screening of I Love Boosters last night at the Brooklyn Alamo Drafthouse and got to see the man himself, Boots Riley and Lakeith Stanfield!

As for the film itself…I Love Boosters is genuinely SO good. Similar surrealist humor as Sorry to Bother You but on steroids. Slapstick and deep messages abt art, consumerism, fast fashion, people over profits. The last third is totally bonkers in the best way. See it in a cinema, please. During the Q&A Boots talked about how important word of mouth is for projects like these. Opening the same weekend as a Star Wars movie is rough. But please support the film this weekend if you can. Don’t wait on streaming. See it, tell your friends to see it. Everyone decries sequels and reboots and remakes but we have to support original, creative, ballsy filmmaking like this.

The Q&A was great in general and I could have listened to these guys talk for hours. Boots taking about A24 and Neon physically fighting at Cannes took me out. Lakeith was so funny too man! His wife is in the film, i refuse to spoil the storyline because it’s so hysterical and bonkers. And he’s very very tired of the Get Out gifs and begged us to make new ones of him. 😂

But he also dropped something really profound that’s going to stay with me for a long time, as a creative. He was telling a wild anecdote about an incident that happened on set during the filming of Sorry to Bother You, and said that if nothing has the chance to go wrong, it never has the chance to be great. We have to be audacious with our art, because keeping it safe is always going to result in mediocrity. Even if we might fall down, we have to reach as high as we can if we ever have the hope to reach new levels. As a writer I found that so inspiring.

And that’s Boots as a filmmaker, honestly. The back third of this movie is fucking crazy. He swings for the fences and whether or not it lands really is up to the viewer. But he never half asses anything and it shows. I adored it, even more than Sorry to Bother You. This is just a FUN and oddly inspiring and uplifting movie, and it’s landing at the perfect time. Coming together to fight for change is the only way it happens. People have power as a collective. And for all the craziness of this film, that’s the central message and it’s so important.

Alamo gave us all wigs and we put them on and they took a big group pic of us afterwards. 😂
