Happy anniversary, Stonewall riots! Stay revolutionary!

Today (Nov 20) is Trans Day of Remembrance.

Last week I joked that my very cerebral, retired-police-chief-grandpa is basically Holt from Brooklyn 99 and then today someone said, “damn, we’re out of decaf” and he just deadpans “well there’s no need to get hysterical.”

If you’re not destroying the sanctity of marriage and making a mockery of traditional gender roles, then you’re really missing out.

Thinking about some stuff regarding the real Ann Walker...

Ann Walker outlived Anne Lister by 14 years.

Ann Walker was put away in a mental asylum because her family was that ashamed of her

Ann Walker was buried far away from her wife as unceremoniously as possible

Ann Walker's nephew (?) completely ignored her last will

Ann Walker is only ever remembered as Anne Lister's "lesbian friend" on the official Walker family history website

This is why it's important to not only remember and celebrate Anne Lister's life. But Ann Walker's too. Ann Walker married another woman in the early 1800s and she went against all the expectations from her family

Ann Walker who survived her parent's deaths and the deaths of all her siblings

Ann Walker who was a sexual abuse survivor

Ann Walker who had to deal with sexist mental health prescriptions who would dismiss her mental illnesses as mere hysteria or melancholy and that all she needed was a "good adventure"

No ladies and gents. If there was ever a time where we need to celebrate and remember the lives of historical lesbians, it has to be now. And if Ann Walker is looking down from heaven (or wherever else) then I hope that she will be proud. That she will finally be at peace that she is being recognized, loved, accepted and appreciated

And finally. I would love to thank the whole production team behind Gentleman Jack and especially give all my praises to Sophie Rundle for perfectly portraying this amazing person

Do you know I don’t think one hour passed where I didn’t think of you? I tried not to, but every time I closed my eyes, there you were.
