A new attack on trans visibility in the United States: the Trump administration has removed all references to transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument website, the first U.S. national monument dedicated to LGBTQ+ history.
On the National Park Service website, the acronym LGBTQ+ has been shortened to LGB, erasing any recognition of trans and queer identities. This change follows Trump’s new policy, signed upon his return to the White House, recognizing only two sexes—male and female.
Reactions were swift. Stacy Lentz, co-owner of the Stonewall Inn, stated: “There is no Pride without trans people leading this fight! Trying to erase them from the birthplace of LGBTQ+ rights will not work!”
On Friday, a protest took place in front of the monument in New York, with signs declaring: “You can’t spell history without a T.”
For context, the 1969 Stonewall uprising was a turning point in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, two trans women of color, played key roles in these events. Their contributions, now erased by Trump, remain central to our history.
This attempt at rewriting history will not go unnoticed. History belongs to those who made it, and no one—not even a president—can erase the truth.
