To certain complicit cowards at the National Park Service

[chanter1944]

I say this as someone who loves the NPS, land stewardship and history: To whichever bigoted and/or petrified fools agreed to erase all references to trans folks from the Stonewall Monument website, flat-out using the term the LGB movement in the midst of committing a wider act of attempted reality erasure...

F you very very much!">

For those disinclined to click, this link goes to a radio edited version of a magnificently fitting song by Lily Allen. You still might not want to play it at work.

And since it was trans women who kicked off Stonewall (and yes, even the LGB movement attempted to erase that piece of our history so they don't get off scot free either)!

Exactly!

[chanter1944]

Precisely! Speaking as a queer, if CIS, woman, that never fails to infuriate me.

Fuck that shit, just fuck it to hell and back.

[chanter1944]

Eeeeeexactly.

I'm contemplating organizing a quiet protest to correct the now-bowdlerized Stonewall plaque with metallic pen, renewed every time it gets cleaned off.

Please do. I want in, if you do. Distance? Whatever in the world is that? I'm happy to send supplies, if nothing else.

Hey, I just discovered that the NPS website has a feedback form at the bottom of informational webpages!

I typed "transgender" until I hit the character limit.

[chanter1944]

Ooooooh! Thanks for the clue-in. Methinks I have some feedback to give, once I'm not falling asleep.
