This 'bust' looks so hideous that the onlookers on the left turned to stone.

These attention-seeking transvestites are getting SO much free publicity.

Time Magazine has made up an overlong, over-emotional sob-story about these brave people facing so much adversity— and death threats too!

Am I the only one who thought that Marsha P. Johnson was a transvestite?

by Anonymousreply 9February 22, 2022 3:57 AM

r9, Marsha P. Johnson himself knew he was a drag queen! I hate the transing of the dead as much as the post-mortem baptism that Mormons do. All this seems like a cult and I don't want anything to do with "trans" or "queer". They're hateful, and homophobic as all get out.

They do not get death threats, they constantly try to bait death threats, because that would make them martyrs or something. They are all so endlessly tiresome.

LGB has nothing at all to do with T or Q. "Queer" these days means neurotic straight people who got a haircut and think that makes them something else. They're the same old boring bisexuals (if that) they always were.

Basta!

Enough!

Reminds me of those statues of the Confederate generals.

There's enough garbage in our cities already.

Why litter it with this ghastly figure immediately adjacent to those earlier ghostly-figures/

The scale is wrong. How are human beings supposed to make use of this public parkland?

What are they saying, it’s a sculpture that wants to be a painting and it’s going to undergo an operation to be two dimensional. StP?

Johnson and Rivera were two junkie whores with serious mental health issues who frequently robbed their tricks. They didn't do jack shit at Stonewall (sources vary as to if they were even there) or the immediate aftermath when the gay rights movement really got under way.

r8 So many hysterical buzz words lies like 'lifesaving', 'care' (cosmetic surgery? mutilation? unhealthy drugs? automatic 'affirmation'?), 'protect/save our trans kids/youth' (pro-puberty blocker child abuse? pro-male-athletes in girls/women's sports?)

r14 They sound like the perfect LGBTQ+ icons/heroes! Yes, LGBTQ+ cult loves these subversive personalities.

He was a gay male transvestite, he said as much, and he wasn't at Stonewall the first night when all of the shit happened, he arrived much later. Honor him for his later work fighting for gay rights, but it's historically inaccurate and revisionist to call him trans.

by Anonymousreply 17February 22, 2022 4:47 AM

R8 they always have a photo of the trans du hour when they are solo and looking pensive, because if they show a photo of them standing next to any actual females they would look like the incredible hulk, minus the muscles and personality.

If trans women of color had actually been in charge of the gay rights movement, homosexuality would still be illegal.

How did Marsha get so venerated? It seems so... calculated. Can any DLer pin-point the moment?

I'm surprised that Stormé DeLarverie isn't more venerated, as opposed to Marsha P. Johnson, but whatever.

R19 Hush !! Privileged gay white men own ALL their rights to black trannies, who all get murdered with zero fanfare.

Girl, when you’ve already been immortalized by Warhol anything else is going to look tacky and down market. The paintings are tribute well enough. It’s not like Baltimore is going put up a big ole fat sculpture of Divine after being painted by David Hockney. Drag Queens look best in two dimensions anyways.

The fucking documentary ABOUT Marsha has AUDIO of HIM saying 1) he's a gay male 2) he's a transvestite and 3) he wasn't at stonewall till after it happened and 4) Syvlia was passed out on a park bench.

We should all take turns putting stickers on that statue saying "gay man! not trans!"

The out and out lies this fucking cult makes up and spreads just won't stop.

They need to be called out on their lies each and every time they open their collective mouths.

r27 The liars (trans cult, lgbtqia+ cult, cult allies) have endlessly moved the goalposts. First, they resorted to gaslighting with repeating lies until they became the accepted mainstream truth (those who spoke facts have been attacked as transphobes, homophobes, lgbtq+phobes, rightwing, fascist, nazi, bigots, etc.). But it's exactly Goebbels propaganda tactic.

Then, current fashionable 'answer' is this: "Back then, they didn't have the concept and words like trans like we can afford to. If Marsha were alive today, she* would have definitely identified as trans! So she's trans!"

Exactly the same vile rhetoric of many media and institutions with their post-transing (including non-binary, gender fluid, gender kweer) the historical gays, lesbians, or just people like Jeanne d'Arc.

WE should still protest. I thought of buying stickers but I dont' want my cc # used . If someone sleuthy knows how we can get stickers mass produced that say something to the effect of "Gay Man not trans" etc., let's figure it out. I would help fund this effort I just dont know how to use bitcoin etc.

The inconvenient truth that the “trans women of color are being KILLED” crowd never fails to acknowledge is that those (infrequent at best) murders are overwhelmingly committed by homophobic black men who got tricked by tranny whores.

This is isolated to a very specific niche of the general public and it’s laughable how they try to blame the white patriarchy for it.

People in general are over this shit and have woken up from the lies a long time ago. They’re only now starting to speak out.
