Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.
It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

Without Stonewall, without the efforts of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, the LGBTQ Community wouldn’t be where it is today. Don’t forget the roots, don’t forget the catalyst.
and then TERFs wanna be like, “hmm well the LGBT community existed before Stonewall!”
but like…Becky, of course LGBTQ+ people existed before Stonewall. We’ve all existed since the beginning of time. But the movement got a shock to its senses, a jump-start, a rocket-into-space when that glass shattered via Marsha P. Johnson, and when Sylvia Rivera was up on-stage protesting guess who was on the sidelines heckling her?
The same fuckers who won’t ever reblog or acknowledge this
My apologies to the original poster as I photo captured this post to add to the thread-I reposted this last year for pride and expect to repost it every year I have left-it’s our history people.
Marsha P. Johnson allegedly died of suicide in 1992, and her death was never investigated. Even I, a mere prole, could catch the “she was murdered” vibes from the circumstances surrounding the discovery of her body.
Without a trans black woman, LGBT+ rights would not exist. Never forget. Never “pay it no mind”.

And whatever you do, don’t watch that awful movie Stonewall. Go watch a documentary on Marsha P. Johnson instead.
there’s a wonderful documentary on netflix called the death and life of marsha p. johnson! very powerful watch.
every white person ever should reblog this

This is my last post on any of these social-media hellsites. She was murdered by those who want to oppress, erase, and murder *all* of us. America is a rotten husk and it's culture has infected the world with it's endless barrage of christo-centric 'purity.' An eternity of hate paraded by a whitewashed corpse of a prophet. The shadow of the British' dogma of "an empire in which the sun does not set" just instead of a rusted union jack. It's 50 falling stars.
My skin may be Victorian pale, But I am no bootlicker. and any time spent on this website funds the TERFS and bigot radicals who have gained employment in the empty halls of what remains of Tumblr's HQ.
Burn this, and all sites like this; to the ground. America is ran by two fascist parties, Israel is committing genocide on countless innocents in Palestine, and If we don't protest, vote, and revolt, We are all going to fucking die. Call your representatives about any nasty law that the government is trying to vote in. Directly support Palestine through direct means.
Marsha P. Johnson was murdered. And we are next if you keep comfortposting on this website. Plan on encrypted chat apps, not in Twitter and tumblr DM's. protect and donate to local communities. Act instead of rotting behind the screen, and donate to people who can't, either they be disabled, or victims.
Fuck Terfs. Fuck Cops. Fuck the Patriarchy, Fuck Fascists, Fuck Fascist punks, Fuck Corporations, and Fuck just about everyone that stops innocent people from LIVING their lives like the Dead Gods and evolution has intended!
