The Martha thing is interesting because they love saying how you must respect how people identify and the gender identity they claim... Yet when Martha claims he's a man and not trans obviously they must decide for him otherwise.

It also confounds their "trans people have always existed" thing. Cause if they've always existed, why did Marsha say he was a man when he could've said he was trans? Then if trans didn't exist back then, then they could claim that he "didn't know how to explain it" and trans him after. But they can't do both.

Right? Not to mention Martha died in 1992. Sure, the transgender cause wasn't so popular back then, but someone like Martha was certainly aware of it.
