Marsha P Johnson was a black Trans Activist<3

Transwomen are women—this isn’t just a matter of identity but of lived experience, legal recognition (in many countries), and medical consensus. Gender is not strictly tied to the body someone was born with; it includes identity, expression, and social roles.

Marsha was a prominent figure in the Stonewall Uprising—an event often cited as the spark for the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. While there’s debate about who "threw the first brick," Marsha was known to be present and active in the days of protest following the police raid of the Stonewall Inn.

Marsha and the Mothers<3

Marsha advocated fiercely for the rights of LGBTQ+ people, especially homeless queer youth, sex workers, and trans women of color, long before mainstream society began acknowledging them

​

Mothers:LGBTQ+ people, particularly trans women and drag queens, formed chosen families called houses,Each house had a “house mother” (sometimes a “father” too), who was usually a more experienced trans woman, drag queen, or performer.The mother would guide, support, and protect younger members—called her “children.”

So what’s happening right now

In February 2025, the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) quietly removed the words “transgender” and “queer”, and also dropped the letters “T” and “Q” from the LGBTQ+ acronym—saying only LGB or “gay and lesbian”—on its official Stonewall Monument web pages. The change followed an executive order defining gender strictly as male or female And it was trumps doing to cause chaos and remove trans women from existence but we’ve been around for so long they won’t be able to.

Trans youth care is being targeted 953 bills against trans people have been introduced and so much more things
