For decades, transgender people—particularly trans women of color—were the shock troops of queer liberation. Yet, as the movement gained mainstream traction in the 80s and 90s, a schism appeared. Respectability politics crept in. The "LGB" began to distance itself from the "T" in an attempt to win marriage equality and military service, often leaving trans rights as the "controversial" issue for another day.

The Stonewall riots of 1969, a pivotal moment in the modern LGBTQ rights movement, also involved trans individuals, including Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, who were prominent figures in the uprising. The riots marked a turning point in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and trans people continued to play a vital role in the movement. fat shemale gallery free
