I'd argue that Marsha P Johnson "counts" as a trans woman.

One of the things with trans history is that it does have a lot of overlap with gay/drag stuff because if you're a male-bodied person, but living as a woman is important enough to you, welllll…

there's still an extremely vocal minority that tries to undermine gay male accomplishments in the arena of the LGBT civil rights movement -- especially when it comes to stonewall.

Fighting back. Taking to the streets if needed. Moaning on an Internet forum - while cathartic - doesn't mean anything if you don't put your money where your mouth is. Like I said last night now isn't the time for despair now is the time to roll up our sleeves and get ready to fight.

What are the realistic prospects of marriage equality being struck down?

I'm pretty worried right now. I'm moving to America early next year in order to marry my partner. We waited for the Supreme Court decision last year with excitement and expectation, as he lives in a state which didn't recognise gay marriage before that, and then we had to wait some more for unrelated family reasons. I didn't expect this election result at all - it seemed like equality and rights were on the up in the US in general, and the prospect of a Trump victory seemed like some dimly glimpsed nightmare, but now it's real. Now I'm frightened of refusal of entry to the US, marriage annulment, legalised discrimination, everything.

So, what are my chances?

I called my state's LGBT rights organization this morning and spoke to their lawyer because I'm in a similar position. (Planning on a wedding fall of 2017, live in a state that didn't recognize gay marriage.) They strongly recommended getting the paper sooner rather than later. The gist of it was it'll be a mess trying to annul existing marriages so they anticipate a closing of doors or restriction of access like abortion access.

What's your home country like? Can your fiancé come to you?

Toothless isn't a word I would use to describe Dick Cheney.

Any who, a story from the darkest timeline:

I asked my doctor this morning at an appointment if she had any moral objections to treating me as a gay man. I said I only asked because if she did I would rather find a new physician than cause issues. She told me she had no problem with it and would be horrified to find out any doctor would refuse treatment to a gay person. (I didn't tell her they're out there.)

Be out, voice your concerns. Protect you and your family.

Talk to people. Be out. poo poo I just talked about flat out asking my doctor if she would be a bigoted piece of poo poo if push came to shove. She was a little horrified but I made my point.

Alas this got lost in an intellectually bankrupt argument about the role of the VP.

Edit: and it was intellectually bankrupt because peeps were ignoring the existence of Dick Cheney.
