Original Note:
Marsha P Johnson was a gay man who never referred to himself as ‘transgender’. Both Sylvia Rivera & Johnson said ‘transvestite’ only applied to gay men & women, and Rivera did not like to be referred to as ‘transgender’. Neither called themselves ‘queer’ as it was a slur. https://makinggayhistory.com/podcast/episode-11-johnson-wicker/ https://www.si.edu/stories/marsha-johnson-sylvia-rivera-and-history-pride-month https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsha_P._Johnson https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvia_Rivera
