I have a suggestion.
Talk about what you said on RuPaul.
Trans women are dying and you said that we, as trans women, are not like regular women.
We get raped more often.
We go through domestic violence more often.
There was a trans woman killed here a few blocks [away].
I have been followed home .
McGowan cut her off and responded:
Hold on.
We are the same.
My point was, we are the same.
Its the same, McGowan retorted.
To which the trans woman asked:
You do nothing for them.
Trans women are in mens prisons.
And what have you done for them?
Dont label me, sister, she reportedly said.
Dont put your labels on me.
Dont you fucking do that.
Do not put your labels on me.
I dont come from your planet.
You will not put labels on me or anybody.
Step the fuck back.
What I do for the fucking world and you should be fucking grateful.
Shut the fuck up.
Get off my back.
What have you done?
I know what Ive done, Goddammit.
Im not crying; Im fucking mad with the lies, she said.
All of us want to say it.
And then she yelled about the truth:
And you could label this thing as a breakdown.
That, motherfuckers, is a breakdown.
Maybe not for me, but for you.
I might have information you want.
I might know shit that you dont.
So fucking shut up.
You know what Im talking about.
Just tell the God damned truth.
Stop boxing everybody into shit.
I didnt agree to your cis fucking world.
The stats are not that dissimilar.
When you break it down, it is a much smaller population.
Theres not a internet here devoted to your fucking death.
And until it’s possible for you to collect that fucking check, back up.
My name is Rose McGowan and I am obviously fucking brave.
After saying she was afraid of Harvey Weinstein having her assassinated, a few audience members giggled.
I know my life, and I know my reality, McGowan said.
I know that people like me get killed.
[Weinstein has] been after me for a lot longer.
There was a plant last night.
I had my first book reading, something Id only seen in movies, by the way.
There was definitely a paid plant that started screaming at me, yelling at me.
I am canceling upcoming public appearances because I have given enough.
The truth is you all failed me.
