{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Credit Where It's Due","description":"Shaun pulls up a chair with the ancestors, Sylvia Rivera, Bayard Rustin, Marsha P. Johnson, and Stormé DeLarverie, and asks the question that needs to be asked: whose names stay in rotation, and whose work gets acted like it never existed?\n\nIn this episode of Assigned Sex, Unarchived, Shaun traces the pattern of how movement history gets sanitized , who gets put on the poster and who gets pushed to the margins to keep the story comfortable. Using archival footage of Sylvia Rivera (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb-JIOWUw1o) being booed off her own stage at the 1973 Christopher Street Liberation Day Rally, and Bayard Rustin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbGWhBhOBog) reading the demands of the 1963 March on Washington to a quarter of a million people, Shaun makes the case that erasure isn't an accident.\n\nShaun also centers Stormé DeLarverie (https://archive.org/details/storme) , the mixed-race drag king, Jewel Box Revue performer, and self-appointed guardian of Greenwich Village, whose archival voice runs through this episode. Shaun traces what it means that her legacy keeps getting reduced to a single disputed moment  while her years of mutual aid and community protection quietly disappear underneath it.\n\nThe episode closes with a look at pinkwashing, corporations and governments leaning on LGBTQ+ imagery to appear progressive while the people who did the original work get pushed to the back, and with Shaun's four-part framework for actually honoring Black trans and gender-nonconforming labor: say where you got things from, put money behind it, change who you center, and stop pretending the proof isn't there.\n\nFollow Assigned Sex on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/AssignedSex/) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/assignedsex/) at @assignedsex, and subscribe to the Assigned Sex newsletter on Substack (https://assignedsex.substack.com/) for episode updates and extended conversations.\n\nCredits:\nHost: Shaun Dawson · Audio Engineer: Aaron Freeman · Producers: Shaun Dawson & Nandikayyy · Sound Design: Nandikayyy · Music: \"Soul of Orleans\" by John Lopke; \"Street Gospel Hip Hop Piano – 75bpm – Bbmaj\" by nnaudio (licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0).\n\nSources for archival audio:\n— Sylvia Rivera, \"Y'all Better Quiet Down,\" 1973 Christopher Street Liberation Day Rally NYC.
