"Где-то в сказке"

She used to be slandered as a trans woman tricking the public back when she debuted, and her response was literally "and so what if I was? Would it be so terrible?", rather than the expected "no I'm not but I support them!" or honestly the more normal for the time "I'm not a freak, Ew.".

This was at her debut, btw, so when her star power was at its weakest. And she still stood by us completely unflinchingly.

Both women are queer. Lady Gaga has stated that she's bisexual numerous times, and Chappell Roan is an open lesbian.

Lady Gaga has toyed with gender in the past. Both with a male persona (featured in the "You & I" video) and by asking a person how they identified (in 2011!) and then saying that she "probably" identified as a woman more than the person she was talking to. Chappell Roan often toys with gender presentation.

Chappell Roan has identified as a lesbian for a long time, but a lot of her early work features men. She thought she was bi and realized she wasn't.

These women aren't just allies to Trans people - they're a part of our community (LGBTQIA+) and they're doing the work even though no one would blame them for choosing to protect themselves. It's a scary time and femme queer people are at a heightened risk for violence, but they've chosen to take a public stance, because it's the right thing to do.
