Despite different definitions, the modern transgender community and mainstream LGBTQ culture emerged from the same crucible of police brutality and public shame. Rewriting this history is essential, as mainstream media often credits cisgender (non-trans) gay men as the sole architects of Pride.

The most famous event in LGBTQ history, the Stonewall Uprising of 1969, was sparked and fueled by transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals. Specifically, Marsha P.
