Why aren't more trans women named after Marsha P. Johnson? Inspired by Tourmaline well-researched, beautiful biography of Marsha, I call for us to uplift trans herstory as a source for choosing new names -- and trans self-determination in general. https://reclaimournames.com/2026/08/10/trans-herstory/

"-16 studies examined gender-affirming medical care 4 transgender youth.
