A few more: Here we have an example of “presentism”, which is forcing your own modern views on people in the past who did not share them. marlene dietrich was bisexual, that doesn’t make her trans. phil black was a drag queen, that doesn’t make him trans. vesta tilley played male characters and was a drag king, that doesn’t make her trans. julian eltinge was an actor and played female roles, that doesn’t make him trans. ella wesner was a stage dancer who played male parts, that doesn’t make her trans. barbette played female parts in drag and revealed himself to be male at the ends of his acts, that doesn’t make him trans. lyllin brown performed in minstrel shows as a male impersonater, and used the title “E.L Brown” to hide her true sex. she even made acts where she dressed as a drag king at the start and revealed herself as a woman during the performance, before continuing. none of this makes her trans. gladys bentley was a drag king who would sing her songs while flirting with women in the audiences, that doesn’t make her trans. john lind was a ballet dancer who dressed as a woman during his performances, that doesn’t make him trans. the only one on this list that was confirmed to be trans was christine jorgenson. so yea “people who were openly trans and non-binary” my ass. so please for the love of god, stop transing people who were gender non-comforming. this is so regressive. Some of them appeared to be openly gay or bisexual (Marlene Dietrich, Ella Wesner, Barbette aka Vander Clyde Broadway, and Gladys Bentley). Wesner and Broadway even damaged their careers by deciding to elope or pursue relationships with the same sex. Why are trans activists trying to take this representation away from gender non conforming gay and bisexual people? you know why,,, I can’t fucking believe they did Marlene Dietrich like this. I’m LIVID Gladys Fucking Bentley? seriously? so now the tras are calling butch lesbians “nonbinary”…Yeah ok -- source link
