I am so sick and tired of seeing the trans women around me being slowly hot coaled into the closet and into essentially being forced back into "Men who would really love being women but Can't because they Aren't". It is so painful stop fucking doing this to our trans women. Stop forcing them to be "Fine" with being called dude bro man he and biologically male stop it stop it stop it you are killing her. You are killing her.

One of the biggest things I remember Marsha P. Johnson for is S.T.A.R (Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries).

It was a group she founded with several other trans women, specifically sex workers, and they housed trans and gay kids (specifically Black and Brown ones) who needed it, using the money they got from sex work.

She was murdered, likely (at the very least aided by) the US police, and it all hurts my soul so much. Not just thinking of all the people who are alive today because of her but how she was a poet, she was a performer, she was a sex worker, she was beautiful and vibrant and alive.

I'm alive today because of the kindness of Black and Brown trans women who were looking out for and taking trans kids under their wing and the way they disappear left and right and not only do people move on in the blink of an eye, but they turn these people into "symbols" without respecting who they were or what they believed in is so heartbreaking.

To anyone wanting to honor Marsha, maybe try watching out for trans kids, helping out where you can. Fight transmisogyny/noir. Commit some crimes to help other queer folks. Put some bricks in a bag, hit a cop. Protest (or help out with one). Fight whorephobia and stick up for sex workers.

Don't just bring up Stonewall or make memorabilia with Marsha's face on it. She was a fucking person and so are all the other Black trans women who have been murdered and have disappeared, respect it.

(yes this is us centric but im already seeing so many posts "honoring" marsha p johnson and im tired.)
