Comment on Marsha P Johnson: A Chrome extension to highlight trans erasureparent

Comments

it's still true that she lived as a woman at the time

That's an awfully sexist perspective, isn't it?

A man acting out some feminine stereotypes doesn't somehow become a woman by doing so.

Sure, but there's a clear difference between a man who dresses feminine sometimes but otherwise still prefers being referred to as a man and Marsha Johnson. She moved to a new town, changed her name, went by feminine pronouns, and pretty much exclusively dressed as a woman. That's what I meant by my comment, but thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt.
