Marsha P. Johnson
Unreliable source: in the video, it says that Johnson was celebrating her birthday in Stonewall riot, while her birthday is in August and riot was in June. Source also says Johnson starts the riot whereas this is proven false. Video poorly researched.

Marsha P. Johnson
Misrepresentation of quote: In the book, "an important figure in the nascent 'transgender' civil rights movement" refers to Sylvia, not Marsha. Also, author acknowledges this claim is "ahistorical" and that he is a 'bad historian' for the statement

Marsha P. Johnson
Marsha never used the phrase "street transvestite" in the documentary, therefore it's inappropriate the put it in quote. She did talk a lot about her being a drag queen in documentary. Her obituary at Transy House also recognizes her as a drag queeen.

Marsha P. Johnson
Added her outspoken advocacy for gay rights. Deleted reference to Sylvia in the lead paragraph as this is not Sylvia's page. Modify the sentences to be more accurate

Marsha P. Johnson
"a natural look, like her idea of what a woman should look like" says nothing about her self-identified gender identity. It could mean that Marsha has an ideal of how woman looks and dress herself up according to that standard as a transvestite/drag queen

Marsha P. Johnson
Marsha said she was a boy 4 times in the source documentary and woman 1 time, therefore "boy" should be included in her gender identity if "woman" is included

Marsha P. Johnson
The source, David Carter, is a professional Stonewall historian, not "the opinion of one gay man". The editor's homophobia and denouncing a historian's professionalism because of their sexual identity is concerning. Resentment has no place on Wikipedia

Marsha P. Johnson
Not relevant. Other people's identification of Johnson is not her own gender identity. Also, editor bias is suspected as they disproportionately highlight the "transgender version of Campbell soup" comment by a columnist.

Marsha P. Johnson
Johnson referred to herself as a boy 4 times in the documentary, only one time as "living as a woman", therefore "boy" should be included in the gender identity. Also Johnson thinking Michelle is not a nice name for a boy is key evidence of her identity2
