The future of LGBTQ culture is not just gay. It is gloriously, radically trans.

Trans men often report feeling invisible in lesbian spaces (where they once felt at home) or erased in gay male spaces. Trans women often face "trans broken arm syndrome"—where every medical issue is blamed on hormones, or they are fetishized or rejected for not having a "typical" body.

Rivera, in particular, spent her life fighting for the inclusion of "street queens" and trans people, famously crying out at a 1973 Gay Pride Rally that the gay movement was abandoning its most vulnerable members.

Transgender individuals have been the primary architects of much of the language and aesthetics used in LGBTQ+ culture today.
