The New "Stonewall" Film Tramples On Trans History

"Roland Emmerich's Stonewall, however unwittingly, perfectly symbolizes how the mainstream gay rights movement has treated trans and gender-nonconforming people ever since the fateful Stonewall Riots more than four decades ago. We're comrades, even "sisters," when our numbers and our willingness to put ourselves on the line for the LGBT cause are needed, but we're also the first to get tossed aside to pave the way for more "respectable" queer people."

Everyone has been saying "Don't judge it by the trailer. When the movie comes out, you'll see it was respectful to history." If this review is even close to accurate, it seems the the movie is even worse than we thought it was.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?
