#LGBTQ: Rose McGowan Gets Into an Argument with a Trans Woman & Yells, “Don’t Label Me, Sister! Step the F*ck Back!”

By Trey Speegle on February 2, 2018 5:35 pm

Rose McGowan attended a reading event for her new memoir, Brave, at the Barnes & Noble in Union Square in NYC. According to Vulture, the evening started off with McGowan answering pre-submitted questions from audience members, but it got intense FAST when a trans woman jumped in about something McGowan has supposedly said on Drag Race.

“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 said…

“Hold on. So am I. We are the same. My point was, we are the same. There’s an entire show called ID channel, a network, dedicated to women getting abused, murdered, sexualized, violated, and you’re a part of that, too, sister. It’s the same.”

The trans woman asked:

“You do nothing for them. Trans women are in men’s prisons. And what have you done for them?”

It then got VERY heated with the trans woman being escorted out by security while chanting “white cis feminism,” with McGowan continuing to yell…

“Don’t label me, sister. Don’t put your labels on me. Don’t you fucking do that. Do not put your labels on me. I don’t come from your planet. Leave me alone. I do not subscribe to your rules. I do not subscribe to your language. 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 I’ve done, Goddammit.“

She then yelled about the truth…

“And you can 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 don’t. So fucking shut up. Please systemically. For once. In the world. You know what I’m talking about. Just tell the God damned truth. Stop boxing everybody into shit. I didn’t agree to your cis fucking world. Ok? Fuck off.”

Yelling about some other topics…

“Trans women are women and what I’ve been trying to say is that it’s the same. The stats are not that dissimilar. When you break it down, it is a much smaller population. There’s not a network here devoted to your fucking death. There’s not advertisers advertising tampons with a camera lovingly going up a girl’s body as she’s being lovingly raped and strangled. Piss off. And until you can collect that fucking check, back up. My name is Rose McGowan and I am obviously fucking brave.”

Yikes. And this is just the beginning of her book tour.
