I commend Sylvia and Marsha for trying, they had good intentions and were really trying to help people in the community. Even though STAR only lasted 6 months, those 6 months helped people who had nowhere else to turn, and that should be applauded. Their contributions have been over-hyped though, and it's insane just how much.

It's also completely erasing who they were and how they lived their lives to post-posthumously transgender either of them. Yes, language can change over time, and words that once meant one thing can mean another. But even if we assume the prefix "trans" back then meant exactly what it does now, BOTH OF THEM STATED THEY WERE NOT. They were gay males using sex work to hustle.

It's so disrespectful, not only to us, but to them too.

I don't understand how their lived, spoken, and recorded experiences can be so blatantly twisted and ignored, and everyone just goes along with it. There's literal evidence and proof, and everyone is like, "no, wrong, next!"
