Honestly I think Marsha P. Just because there’s actual video of him clarifying that he knew he wasn’t a woman, and that he didn’t “throw the first brick.”

It’s disrespectful to take historical figures and “trans” them when they can’t confirm how they saw themselves or felt about gender/sex, but I think it’s even more disrespectful when the person you’re speaking for has actually addressed the specific topic and said something to contrary to how they’re being labeled posthumously.

IMO it was the push of this lie that started the rise of mainstream TRA nonsense. I'm probably missing some bits, but I remember when Stonewall came out and seeing how much it was criticized for being whitewashed. True or not, the discourse surrounding the movie is the first time I'd even heard about Martha P. Johnson and the other black trans women I supposedly owed all of my rights too.
