In art and activism, the transfusion runs deep. The drag scene has long been a haven for trans expression (even as its history with transphobia is complicated).

However, to focus only on the fractures is to miss the profound symbiosis. Transgender culture has radicalized LGBTQ culture, pulling it away from assimilationist dreams and back toward its roots in gender nonconformity. Think of the Stonewall Riots: while mainstream history often centers the gay white men, it was trans women of color—Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera—who threw the bricks that lit the fuse.
