Watching Marsha P. Johnson get ready for a date feels like spying on a long lost auntie. On some level, that&rsquo;s exactly who Marsha is as a mother in the fight for trans rights. But in her grainy home videos, she&rsquo;s not a living legend. She&rsquo;s just a human. Our debut episode cuts through myths and mysteries to uncover the complicated contradictions that made up Marsha&rsquo;s life. Host Raquel Willis explores her own relationship with LGBTQ+ history and ancestors like Marsha, while friends of Marsha along with historians shed light on her story. We&rsquo;re lucky that Marsha spoke for herself too and we&rsquo;ll get to know her in her own words.
