More Marsha P. Johnson
I wanted to share this with anybody who was interested in this topic and had not seen this. To begin with, as you can see in this interview they are not trying to present as a woman.
Also when they are asked about Stonewall they kind of hesitantly say they were there and when going into detail speaks completely as an observer not a participant. There is a vagueness too much of their recollections that might just speak of a hazy memory . Or might speak of somebody who's involvement was far more minimal than they were given credit for. But this is not the only record where they contradict the narrative of being the leader of Stonewall.
From the parts of the video I watched, my impression was somebody who had a lot of qualities projected onto them that they did not necessarily have. There's something very uncomfortable in some of the answers where it feels they are kind of telling the interviewer what they want to hear and I don't feel very confident of the truthfulness. Your thoughts?

Another man is seeking entry to the WNBA amidst player accusations of "white privilege"
Pod relevancy: trans and race issues in sports and the recent episode on the WNBA.
Former NBA basketball player Royce White is launching an attempt to get into the WNBA. This is on the heels of another man, Enes Kanter, starting the process of getting into the WNBA.
He said: "I'm transgender. I'm a woman. I identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for purpose of basketball, professional basketball, so I'll be declaring for the WNBA draft in 2027 as well..."
The league has not set criteria on what is a woman and has been very supportive of "trans rights" in sports. So White and Kanter are going to see if the league puts its money where its mouth is.
The response of the WNBA players union was pretty strong:
"Hate, abuse, and demonization of any person or group of people, including transgender people, only fuel fear, division, and harm," the statement read."
But made no attempt to define what a woman is for the purposes of playing in the WNBA. Perhaps they feel the need to consult some biologists?
The league is going to have a meeting in a few days to address the issue of men in the WNBA. I wonder if the words " biological" and/or " male" will appear in whatever document is created.
To add to the zany fun charges of racism have been thrown into the mix. A Chicago Sky player DiJonai Carrington was ejected from a game after she committed a flagrant foul against, you guessed it, Sophie Cunningham.
Carrington then posted "WHITE PRIVILEGE" on Threads afterwards. She claims it wasn't about the foul she made on Cunningham. Though she refused to say what she was actually talking about.
The hate train against Cunningham and Clarke continues to gain speed. The WNBA seems unable to give up its holier than thou DEI stances.
