The Only Archipelago

"Where were transmascs during Stonewall?" Across the street throwing lit mattresses at cops and chanting "gay rights, gay rights, gay rights!" from the windows of the Women's House of Detention, asshole.

Also, famously at Stonewall?

Thank you! Stormé DeLarverie does not deserve to be erased like that! He famously told people to use whatever pronouns made others most comfortable, but was clearly masc-presenting, so you (general) can pull his transmasc representation from my cold dead hands. Click on the link. Learn about one of the transmasc/butch icons who started the Stonewall fight right alongside Martha P Johnson and Silvia Rivera and stop erasing us!

this is very important history, but I will also say that anyone trying to use "but your flavor of queer wasn't represented at Stonewall" as a Gotcha should be punched in the face

I'm not mourning my teenage years because i falsely believe all girls have a magical adolescence I'm fucking mourning it because i didn't get to be a real person. I'm really fucking glad you can talk about how being a teenager wasn't perfect, i didn't exist.
