Season 9 is here! And it's LITTLE RICHARD, who contained multitudes: a pioneering rock and roll musician, a conservative preacher from the deep South, and a young Black queer man thrown out of his home who became a drag performer under the name Princess LaVonne.

Good history is largely about making educated guesses and showing your work. And always remember: sex changes.
@queerasfact.bsky.social will make their own best pronoun interpretation of the evidence and @badgayspod.bsky.social will sometimes make a different one! It's the TERFy bioessentialism piece of the quoted's strawman post where one 'side' goes wrong. History and gender is rarely so cut and dry.

I would be willing to bet that in many of the jurisdictions where Epstein and Maxwell were reportedly engaged in sex trafficking, law enforcement was getting these trafficking grants and doing these trafficking trainings, for years
