not enough trans people know that the synth was created by a transgender woman! Her name is Wendy Carlos and she worked with Robert Moog to create the synth. Wendy innovated music as synths became popular, she won 3 Grammy's and helped make the soundtracks to Tron, The Shining, and Clockwork Orange. Shes still alive today, at 86. Proving trans people can live long lives.

not enough trans people know about Marsha P Johnson. A black transgender woman and advocate for homeless trans youth, she founded STAR, or Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries, with her close friend and fellow trans woman, Sylvia Rivera.

Marsha was one of the most vocal and outspoken trans activists in our history, she was (*very very likely*) murdered at 47. It was ruled a suicide, but her close friend Sylvia doubted this, saying she had made a "pact" with Marsha, "to cross the River Jordan together."

trans sisterhood is the strongest thing we have. Never let your trans siblings go uncared for, and always check in on them. Because we know better than nobody else, that we are the only people who would.
