Did you know that (according to the 1431 trial record) Joan of Arc was not initially sentence to death as long as she did not relapse (return to wearing men's clothing)? It was only when she did that she was deemed a heretic and burned.

Patron saint of "Death Before Detransition"

1/11
Screenshot of Daniel Hobbin's 2005 translation of the Trial of Joan of Arc, pdf linked later in the thread. The primary source reads: Then we reminded them what happened on that Thursday, how after a solemn sermon and admonitions, Joan had and recanted and abjured her errors and signed the abjuration with her own hand; and how, after dinner, we the vice-inquisitor and our assistants had kindly urged Joan to persist in her good intention and to beware of relapse; then how, in obedience to the commands of the Church, she had given up men's clothing and accepted women's; but that led by the devil, she had stated once again before many witnesses that her voices and spirits had come and told her many things; and how casting off women's dress, Joan again took men's clothing. Having heard this, we visited and examined her. Then we ordered Joan's last confessions and assertions to be read, those she made to us yesterday, and we asked for counsel and advice from those present. They pronounced as follows: Summary. All twenty-seven masters considered her a relapsed heretic, though many recommended further reading and explanation of the abjuration to her and preaching. Most recommended that in handing her over to the secular authority, there should be a plea to treat her with leniency (this a standard formula); however, Denis Gastinel and Pasquier de Vaux advised against such a plea. After hearing the opinions of each one, we thanked them and concluded that the trial should continue against Joan as a relapsed heretic, according to law and reason.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument.

Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed.

3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened.

Erasure.
Stonewall National Monument New York Info Alerts Maps Calendar Fees “By the time of Stonewall...we had 50 to 60 gay groups in the country. A year later...1500.” Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.

Stormé DeLarverie was a protector in the literal terms of the word.
At the end of her performing career she worked as a bouncer for a lesbian bar and patrolled the street with a gun to check on the queer people and sex workers in her neighbourhood until she was 84 years old.

🌈 Next in our LGBTQ+ History Month series, we honour Stormé DeLarverie, a Black lesbian activist and drag king who played a key role in the Stonewall uprising. A fierce protector of the LGBTQ+ community, she spent her life fighting for equality, helping spark the modern movement for queer rights.

🔥Queer Joy is Defiance🔥

Every moment you love your community and yourself, you’re resisting authoritarianism. Activism will be important moving forward, and I think it is powered by our joy.

For folks in the US, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to support queer art over the next few years. Project 2025 seeks to label queer art pornographic and those who make or distribute it pornographers and sex offenders. We can't roll over and accept that. Queer art will live forever.
