The Jeffersons had a openly transgender character.....in the 70s

[Another Man]

People act like gay nikkas and trans people were invented in the 90's when you can find references of them throughout history whether in media or written work.

Yep, @phillmonroe dad was half a fakkit, and of course like father, like son

It's the Mandela effect. shyt has been popping up in my mind randomly since I was a kid. It came up today so I decided to Google it

Wait, what

 

[Another Man]

Yup.

Even ancient ass tribes hundreds of years ago had similar types of things in regards to gender

The fukk

Y'all never saw those M.A.S.H. reruns?

 

[Nymbus]

You didn’t think snips existed back then?

Idk what I thought
Go behind the butcher shop after hours?
Still I thought the hormone swapping was pretty complicated to get the desired er uh "effect"

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

I stayed away from that show cause of it's depressing ass theme song, but WTF

Y'all never saw those M.A.S.H. reruns?

I wasn't a big fan of The Jeffersons, but it had it's fair share of serious episodes.

I remember the daughter in-law did some type of research on a gang. One of the gang members had to take a gunshot as part of his initiation. He ended up dying from it.

Told George what was up & first thing he do is roll over on the bed ass up

Moved to the Eastside and lost his constitution

I remember that Jeffersons episode, also M.A.S.H., but the first one I really remember was this one.....​

First openly gay character on network TV.​

 

[Him]

I remember being confused at that episode as a kid

 

[King Frost]

hollywood pushing the agenda, slowly but surely
there's blaxploitation movie, it had a treh who killed the policeman.

 

[FaTaL]

I seen this episode as a kid but I just made the connection

Regardless of your feelings on the matter, they were definitely ahead of their time.

The 80s seemed like a huge turnaround. All these shows talking about Black, LGBTQ+, feminist, anti-poverty etc. themes just disappeared. Reagan shut that shyt down

 

[Piff Perkins]

There's a movie that came out in 1975 called Dog Day Afternoon. It's about a guy who robbed a bank so he can pay for his boyfriend's sex change operation. Ain't nothing new under the sun

Great film. It's a true story.

Trans shyt isn't new. It's been around since before Rome.
