John Wojtowicz "Littlejohn Basso"

[izzymeadows]

Hey the post you reblogged about John Wojtowicz isn’t the most updated version of the post— if you check the notes or do some more googling you’ll find more examples about Wojtowicz’s abuse and misgendering of his wife.

Here’s an article that focuses more on her experiences!

Thanks for telling me! Gonna undo the reblog. I'm leaving this here so people can read the article.

[ID: Twitter retweet by muslimbanned. "Instead of jacking it to Ted Bundy, please consider:" Retweeted Weird Crime Facts' tweet. "Mugshot of John Wojtowicz who unsuccessfully tried to rob a bank in 1972 to pay for his wife Eden's gender reassignment surgery." Next image: text which reads, "Wojtowicz performed his role with a certain flair. He demanded food for the hostages, and paid the pizza delivery guy with wads of cash. He threw money at the onlookers. Quoted statement: Anyone would love him, this is Robin Hood, says Kapstatter, who worked for the Daily News." Next images are from the wedding of John and Eden: The happy couple kissing, and John taking her garter off, presumably to throw to those gathered. Next image in FrogInAKettle's post: A simply drawn human figure in a trans flag shirt jogs along saying "I Love being trans." /end ID] The Wikipedia article seems to indicate aspects of this are inaccurate, but I haven't done much research in it; it does confirm John got paid enough for the movie to help Eden get her GRS. Uh, don't look too much further into it unless you're okay with a familiar tragedy of the era. tw AIDS death. Silence = Death, I know. I'm just in a rough place just now so I'm... just gonna sit with what I read and maybe cry.
