The Eyes Of The World Are Upon Us!

[RANT]

Remember that folks, we are in the spotlight, THINK! Before you do stuff.

This was entirely inappropriate and it added fuel to the fire. Media has picked it up and is running with it.
Rose Montoya, a trans model and activist, said she was “living her truth” and wasn’t trying to be vulgar or profane.

The White House said a transgender model would be banned from future events due to photos and videos that show her topless on the South Lawn during an LGBTQ Pride month celebration on Saturday.

Rose Montoya, a trans model and activist, was among hundreds invited by the Biden administration to mark Pride Month, which is observed every June. 

Montoya shared a video from the event on Instagram that features a clip of her standing in front of the White House topless and covering her nipples with her hands. 

Right-wing media shared screenshots from Montoya’s video, with commentators and media personalities calling her actions “disrespectful.” Many of Montoya’s critics misgendered her by referring to her with male pronouns and called her anti-trans slurs.
It is not just the conservative media that is reporting this, it made it to the mainstream media.

While we are trying to show the world that we are being oppressed and deserve to treated with respect… this comes along. They behave like gutter trash.

She is probably isn’t the first to do that at the White House but they are the first trans people to do that and they made world headlines.

They need to be shunned from our community.
“Conservatives are trying to use the video of me topless at the White House to try to call the community groomers, etcetera,” she said. “And I would just like to say that, first of all, going topless in Washington, D.C., is legal, and I fully support the movement in freeing the nipple because why is my chest now deemed inappropriate or illegal when I show it off, however, before coming out as trans it was not?”
Well duh… you are a woman and woman don’t bare breasts! And women don’t bare breasts on the White House lawn.

Yeah, I get your point but you don't make it when you have been invited to the White House, you show respect to your host, you show respect to the office, and you show respect to your community. What was a momentous moment of having Pride celebrated on the White House lawn you have overshadowed that event with your antics.

Yeah, I get the fact that the right-winger media mis-gender us as male and then when this happens all of sudden we're female. But many news outlets don't and the President of the United States see you are female and you should have had respect for those who do see us for who were are.

You got your five minutes of fame and now the rest of us have to live with what you have done.
