Even if MPJ was a trans woman of color (s/he wasn’t) and threw the first brick (s/he didn’t), just because members of a certain demographic contributed to “our fight” doesn’t mean that it absolves everyone in that said demographic from criticism and gives them the right to call the shots. The majority of people fighting in those riots and later fighting for LGB(T) rights were white “cis” gay men and lesbians, but you don’t see anyone saying “you owe your rights to white gays and lesbians, how dare you criticize and exclude them”.

This is completely unrelated, but have you seen the Portlandia episode where a bookstore owner suggests a book called "s/he"? The way it's pronounced makes me die every time I see the term.
