To help you draft the right kind of post, could you tell me:
Let’s start with a truth that needs repeating: The "T" in LGBTQ+ is not silent. It is not an afterthought.
A common point of confusion within broader culture is the difference between sexual orientation and gender identity.
: In the first documented academic case (2018), a 30-year-old transgender woman produced enough milk to be the sole source of nourishment for her infant for six weeks.
The "respectability politics" of the era saw gay men and lesbians attempting to assimilate by distancing themselves from "gender non-conformists" and drag queens. Sylvia Rivera famously stormed a Gay Pride rally in 1973, screaming, "You all tell me, ‘Go away! We’re not ready for you yet!’ Well, I’ve been beaten. I have had my nose broken. I have been thrown in jail. I have lost my job. I have lost my apartment for gay liberation—and you all treat me this way?"
: Use language that is accurate and respectful. Terms like "transgender woman" or "non-binary individual" are often preferred over outdated or offensive terms.
