I don't appreciate the racist language at all. I would like to add some aditional context on this story. It isn't quite the support of attacking people of colour that this might seem at first glance.

Johnny Somali (real name Ramsey Khalid Ismael) was filming himself in Japan randomly acosting people in the streets. He then went to South Korea and 'invited' people to do something about it. He has been accused of desecrating a South Korean monument to women subjected to sexual slavery in World War II.

He was attacked by koreans, live streaming his acts and him being attacked, and has recently plead guilty in court and faces a mandatory prison sentence and banned from leaving the country.

Absolutely! Though the common usage of transgender or purely trans are more modern - it was usually referred to incorrectly or derogatory as transsexual or travestite which now are being reclaimed.

I believe for stonewall it was reported as drag queens at the time, very much in line with your visibility and acceptance comment.
