Original Note:
Unlike the post implies, Marsha P Johnson was not transgender, but identified as a gay drag queen. The term "transvestite" is sometimes used, but refers to the practice of crossdressing, not gender identity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsha_P._Johnson?wprov=sfla1 https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/transvestite#:~:text=%3A%20a%20person%20who%20wears%20clothes,most%20identify%20as%20straight%20men.
