So sad she was murdered after this :/ she just wanted to be loved and accepted
That's such a tragedy, she sounded like a kind soft soul :(
It wasn't murder. It was AIDS. There was no hope back then with HIV/AIDS. I wish people would still take the virus seriously. It's treatable but it is still out there.
@@rabidpepeShe was murdered.
@@PartyClown-rh8ffwhat the fuck?
@@captivecat5858 are you a traitor?
her and the femmes and queens like her walked so the girls and the dolls can run and dance and strut today. stunning in life and in the afterlife because you best believe she is still alive now in all our hearts. paved the way with her bare hands taking from her own body for us to stand on now. rest in power, peace, and beauty venus, on behalf of all the dolls who found strength in you and girls like you. you were born a woman and the rest is drag.
“Femmes”. Sexist.
Also… “Lilith”? Y chromosome detected.
😭 Venus the goddess of beauty and love. The name fits her so well. Transphobia is an ugly cruel thing
so cruel. i’d never understand hating someone for something they want for themselves
This is a beautiful comment ❤
Y'all threatening actual women and forcing them to be attracted to y'all is also an ugly cruel thing
Women's safety over the feelings of a crossdressing man
@@Naruto_fishcake nobody is forcing anyone to be attracted to trans people. women’s safety is just as important as trans women/men’s safety, quit the yap
@@Naruto_fishcake nobody is threatening women to have a relationship with transitioned people. by the looks of your other comments, you support an author jk Rowling who has 0 original ideas and legitimately gaslights and insults women on twitter.
RIP queen, you deserved to live a full and prosperous life. Hope you’ve found peace in the next life
I was scared to read the comments at first because I thought there would be transphobes.
It’s so nice to see kind and loving people coming together for a woman who was taken too soon.
So sad to see what happened to her is still going on, literally all the time.
Trans love to you all.
Essa (She/they)
And ofc like a typical troon you don't give a damn when actual women who don't bow down to your delusions are threatened with death & SA by your white knight TRA's like Harry Potter's author :)
Sir, stop following women into the bathroom, you scare us.
@@wormwoodcocktailMe being transphobic because I want to feel like I'm the smartest person in the world:
@@chichihiwi6319 Yes, there is a correlation between understanding how sex works and being smart.
@@wormwoodcocktailThe fact you imply that we who disagree with you don’t know how sex works isn’t smart, diminishes any smarts you think you have.
As a trans woman who is "passable" it breaks my heart that trans women feel the need to pass in order to live regular daily lives, it also gives me an insight into the mind of transphobes, they say they can always tell, but believe me they can not, I just want to live in a world where people dont think they have the power to end someones life just because they disagree with how its being lived.
As a student of cultural anthropology, I'm also sceptical of the current focus especially in Western cultures on physical conformity / surgeries or very invasive procedures. Of course it is up to individuals to decide what is right for them. But considering how many cultures there are or were, where many people we would label trans today were valued members of their society and could live good lives, without the expectation of physically conforming to a certain "standard", definitely makes me question why we consider it so central today. In the recent words of Juriji der Klee (approximated), in the queer world of today, it is time to be accepting of trans people regardless of what changes they have or haven't made to their bodies. People should go with their heart on these decisions, not because they feel the pressure to "pass" in order to feel or be treated as "legitimate".
girl you are stunning
@@hannahg.8572People have surgeries and GAC because they have gender dysphoria that doesn’t just go away after you accept yourself. Having surgeries like FFS isn’t about passing, it’s about combatting gender dysphoria.
@@Avatar_Brandy That's definitely true for a lot of people, but I do think plenty of other people feel pressure from a society that expects everyone to fit into a neat binary box and that that is something they may take into account when considering their options. Also we need to keep in mind that gender dysphoria has different incidences and may express itself differently between cultures. I'm not saying it's about "accepting yourself", that puts the onus on the individual, it's about getting recognition of who you are from general society, which is a perfectly understandable need. There are and were other, non-Western cultures where other genders than male and female were completely normalized or even had special status within society. I don't think it's too far-fetched to assume people might suffer from less dysphoria if they are just outright accepted or maybe never even had to "come out" at all, but were allowed to grow up as themselves.
It cracks me up when they say they can always tell. As a very masculine cis woman who has been insulted and pushed out of women's bathrooms multiple times, no, no they can't
Over 30 yrs & still brown tgirls & now black trans young men being killed for living openly, sad.
And all the whites and Latina’s who do sex work also
Most of them are killed by other black people.
Over 30 years and men still can’t be women
@@aclstudios*other men
my heart goes out to them as a genderqueer latine 🫶🏼 it's upsetting how the effects of transphobia and racism stack up like that
It's wonderful how everyone in this comment section is peaceful and kind, mourning and celebrating Venus Xtravaganza. Trans people are here to stay, and so are the others who are kind to us.
Just stay tf outta actual women's spaces thanks😊
Women are adult human females and men who say they’re women are sexist scrotes.
@@Naruto_fishcakeThis
@@wormwoodcocktailyet death is expectant to all under the sun. How can any stay? Your great grandmother didn't stay in any shape, way or form so how can you and those like you? There's none to stay. It just decays.
@@treasureobasuyi894 I can assure you that women will still be female after I’m dead.
This docu had me in tears
You need a helmet
@@Tom-zp1rp what do you mean by this?
@@notreal9214 that this person is so pathetically soft they should wear a helmet. Idk what’s worse. The fact that people are this soft or that comments need to be explained to others. 🫠🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
its horrible to now know what her future fate was... rest in power
Trans liberation NOW. 💪💙
No, women’s liberation
GROOMERS!
@@wormwoodcocktailAMEN! This thing was not a woman!
RIP Gorgeous Diva, remembered forever 🩷
Every time I see this segmant my heart breaks, her story was so hopeful and ultimately ended in tragedy 💔 Her soul is at peace now, rest in beauty Queen ♡ You got your wings, and are immortalized forever, you're loved by thousands and thousands of people! Go girl, fly high and free 🏳️⚧️ 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️
trans women, drag queens, feminine men, and all queer people living their lives and loving themselves and fully expressing themselves you ARE the most special gorgeous things on earth 😭 I love you so much all of my beautiful queer, gay, and trans siblings ❤❤❤
Queer is a slur. LGB drop the T. This man was sexist.
awww thank you 💗
god shes so beautiful
*God
@@ijustchangedmyname7794 no
@@ijustchangedmyname7794 go cry about it weenie
I mean… if you’re into dudes lol
I’m a lesbian so yeah… no… can’t relate lmfao
Never cut your hair, you'd get a taste of your medicine @@wormwoodcocktail
Venus was a beautiful trailblazer for sure.RIP😞❤️
shes beautiful, its always nice to hear other LGBTQ+ people talking about their identity. especially people who identify as trans*, i feel like lots of us have many interesting ways of explaining our gender. have not watched this docu yet, but definitely plan on doing it. rip venus ❤️
thank you to all who lived before me to give me the chance to live as myself today
"I didnt wanna embarass them. so thats why i moved away" its so sad people cannot be themselves she is so beautiful like a goddess
REST IN POWER XTRAVAGANZA!
Its been a while after I’ve seen this documentary. My heart still breaks for her
So long as I live I will hurt for her. Rest in peace angel. You deserved so much better from life.
she’s beautiful
RIP Venus Extravaganza. I can't imagine they things her and other trans women went through in those times. Can't say much has changed.
Her memory lives on.
rest in peace sweet venus
rest in power beautiful ❤️🔥
I love her so much
She was lovely.
❤
Oh my god she seems so sweet, I've never heard of her but now I'm curious to know more about her. That's so sad what happened to her. Pobrecita :(
I still think about her and just cry.
we miss uuu venus
Seeing this makes me so sad. She had so much to live for.
Why the hell does anybody care what anybody else is doing as long as it’s not an infringement on anybody else’s lifestyle?
As long as you’re not blasting your music at 3am or stealing my parcels off my porch, more power to ya!
Men are cheating in women’s sports, sexually assaulting us in prison and domestic violence shelters, and following us into the bathroom. This man was part of that. Womanface indicates misogyny. It does affect women.
Honestly same. You are statically likely to have the best life with those attributes. Halo effect, nepotism, the least likely to be killed because of their identity
You can just say you hate women
Chi chi Chi from to Wong Foo
Love you forever venus
In my opinion, she should not have been murdered. That was not good 😕
That was not good, but being murdered doesn’t make him a woman. It makes him a male corpse.
MAN!
TERFs are so fucking weird. Are all of you as deranged and constantly obsessed with trans people as your icon Joanne Rowling? Get a life.
Mental cases lil boy was so delusional😊
she was murdered in a hate crime. what kind of person are you, that you'd insult the memory of a woman who did nothing to you?
@@notreal9214it’s not a woman
@@notreal9214Maybe OP is a woman who finds the idea of womanface offensive? And yeah, he died at the hands of another man. Men commit most crime. That’s why men like him don’t belong in women’s spaces.
Transphobes are weird people, y'all need help
@@eliza1826 she was murdered and the only thing you can think of is to call her it. Not even a person, a thing deserving of death. The world truly does find knew ways to disappoint you every day.
Stoppid c u next tuedsay really though he was one of us? Hahahaha no, hes burning now 🤭
Based
You should learn how to spell if you're going to try to insult people
you’re a sociopath. She’s far more likely to “get into heaven” than someone with so much hatred in their heart like yourself. She lived with love and light. You live in hatred and fear. Evil. Just straight up evil
So you want to be rich and do w/e. Money can get you out of a lot, not gonna deny that.
Don't forgetty, they still bleed no matter how rich they are and colour of the skin they have, sooooo let it at "I want to be rich".
00:00 - 00:16 , deal with it.
No, is not tansphobic to put you back into your place.
This is a video of a woman who was murdered after a man found out she was transgender.
Keep your politics out of it and show some basic human respect.
@@aftonstan5494 a woman? No, he was not a natural born hermaphrodit. You made it political, and shows you lack the basic human right respect.
@@aftonstan5494 so he lied he is a woman, and is not a natural born hermaphrodite. Keep your delusions to yourself.
@@aftonstan5494 shows you're also a homosexual that is clearly a misogynistic person.
@@aftonstan5494 you know how to read and write, but you lack comprehension.
so yeah, keep your delusions to yourself.
For everyone in the comments, this is a man. Please stop indulging in their dilution. Nothing wrong with a man wearing make up or a dress, something wrong with a man identifying as a woman, wanting everything a woman has fought for.
These days, please women need to stand up for women!
You sound like a man, or an OUTDATED soul. Grow one, good luck
Dilution
@@jakupshmakup1457 Yeah, god don't pick the smart ones for bigotry
She was murdered in a hate crime.
@@socialjusticeworm3820 Jupp, and this person making that comment is one of these terrorists, thinking they're making the world better.
Male in drag
This is a transgender woman.
@@aftonstan5494so….a male in drag
hey, just in case you're not choosing to be insensitive and rude, I thought I'd let you know that this comment is incorrect. Trans people are different from people who crossdress.
This.
@@aftonstan5494A transgender woman is an FTM. Venus was a transwoman, AKA a trans-identifying man. He’s not a woman.
That man is disgustingly sad.
Well, you have nothing to worry about. Venus was murdered not long after this was filmed. Venus has been gone probably longer than you've been alive. This film is almost 40 years old.
She was murdered, have some class
Oh wait, people like you don't have that
this is such a messed-up thing to say about her. What's wrong with you?
don't you feel any shame disrespecting a murder victim's memory?
This. All men in womanface are sad.
