Lady Java, Storied Entertainer and Trans Nightlife Legend, Has Died
Known as “Sir Lady Java,” the actress, singer, dancer, and comedian rose to prominence in the 1960s Los Angeles club scene, where she was the righteous challenger of a municipal “cross-dressing law.”
Sir Lady Java passed away on Saturday. She was a legendary drag performer in Los Angeles in the 1960s and, with the help of the ACLU, she filed one of the earliest lawsuits challenging crossdressing bans under the First Amendment after the LAPD shut down her show in 1967. She was 82.

once again capitalism takes a movement towards liberation and exploits it for profit in the moments it is profitable, and in the process spreads misinformation and fear among people who do not have the context necessary to experience others’ liberation as their own liberation

obviously at the root of people’s hatred is a fear of what has been punished in themselves—attempting to destroy that which is different and liberated. they are falling into line forcing this oppression on others.

i would love to see more representations of diverse people that are full of life and nuanced. i wonder if these truly evil companies profiting off a group that they currently see as profitable to represent is part of what is making people believe that children are forcibly being transitioned?

just saw a visa ad about a gender non conforming person traveling… is this the trans visibility that’s rallying people towards extreme hatred?
