"depictions over the years erased the role of trans women of color like her, Marsha P Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, and the commemorative white statues that stand outside the bar today honor gay men and lesbians. In her hallway, Miss Major has a photo from 2015 when protesters, inspired by her words, painted the statues brown and placed wigs on them to represent the trans women. (They were promptly re-painted white.)"
