The Don Lemon Show · Flame Monroe on Trans Rights, Project 2025, & Dave Chappelle · 3 Jun 2024 podcast

But nobody was there 25 years ago when I was the only I was the anomaly.

I was the only trans person up in the straight clubs doing stand up being called faggots and bitches and this word and that word.

And being threatened.

And if I was weak or cowardly, I wouldn't be here today doing exactly what I love to do, which is stand up and making people laugh.

Because I would have put my tail between my legs and said, I don't belong here.

You don't get the right to tell me, gay, straight, bi, trans, whatever you are, where I belong or where I don't belong.

Because you were not there when I was in the fight by my goddamn self.

I was by myself, Don Lemon.

Nobody was with me.

But so now you want to take away all the years that I earned the respect from a Dave Chappelle and a Kevin Hart and a Jerry Seinfeld and Jimmy Kimmel.

I earned my respect from these people.

You can't have that.

You cannot have my past.

Because you want me to be your future.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

You kicked the door open for Ellen.

And guess what?

With all that Ellen went through, came out, you know who bashed Ellen the most behind the scenes?

Us.

Not black people.
