things i never expected to learn through a tedtalk but now am glad to know:

the founder of Sirius XM radio is a sapphic trans woman and is currently trying to preserve her wife’s consciousness in a digital file so her wife can be immortal in the body of a robot.

Tfw nazis literally burnt Hirschfeld’s (sp?) papers so we wouldn’t be in the history books

thetolerantleft-deactivated2017

Like I wanna be really clear. Hirschfeld was literally moving to a depathologized explanation of trans women (inversion as variance not defect) and was advocating for providing trans women with HRT and surgery, all the while treat numerous trans women with hormones, in the early 1930s. Berlin had a thriving trans and gay community you have never heard of because the nazis destroyed it and the systematically erased evidence of it.

It’s not that trans women have only existed the last thirty years, it’s that you have been intentionally denied knowledge of our history by reactionaries who want to see us dead.

tbh my fave thing terfs do is try to discredit trans women as lesbians bc how they were born when their whole fucking community was protected first by marsha p. johnson, a black trans woman….

In the early 1970s, Johnson simultaneously identified as a “gay transvestite” and briefly debated the options of surgical transition,[19] the latter of which Johnson ultimately rejected, saying in an interview on June 26, 1992 (ten days before death), “I’m a man.“

marsha p johnson was not the first ‘protector of our community’ wtf…we existed way way before 1969 and that was not the first time we were defiant and protected ourselves

Make your own damn history month for trans women and let us have this one thing for ourselves

weavemama

Yeah, no.

1. Marsha P. Johnson was definitely trans, and rejecting surgical transition does not make her any less of a trans women. Matter of fact, the term you used is a gross term that was used by transphobes back in the day. “Simultaneously” literally means “at the time.” NO one says that anymore, so I suggest you learn how to read up-to-date sources and dictionaries.

2. The whole “I’m a man” saying seems kinda off for me. If you watch this documentary where she allegedly admitted that…. you can’t really hear anything about it. Matter of fact, she constantly refers to herself as a woman and Stonewall girl in the documentary.

3. Marsha P. Johnson was the start of the rebellion against LGBT oppression. She threw the first goddamn punch that started these riots, and she sure as hell deserves to be credited for it. She pretty much started a revolution, and contributed to the chain reaction of righting back and speaking out against homophobia and transphobia.

“Make your own damn history month for trans women and let us have this one this for ourselves”.

No. Pull your head out your ass and realize trans women go through absolute hell just for being who they are. They’re gonna be included in this month. Trans women especially BLACK trans women are being murdered left and right. Two black trans women were recently murdered in New Orleans just a few days apart from each other…. and you’re gonna have the audacity to say they don’t deserve to be included in this month??? Nah fam, like I said if u wanna be bitter and ugly you can hit me with that block but just so you know… TRANS WOMAN ARE WOMEN.
