Rose promoottte afgelopen woensdag haar memoir ‘Brave’ bij Barnes Noble in NYC, echter werd ze hierbij verbaal aangevallen door een transgendere vrouw die Rose aansprak op eerder uitspraken over de Transgender gemeenschap waarbij Rose zelf verbaal van zich afbeet. Na het incident heeft de uitgeverij laten weten dat de resterende geplande boek tour niet doorgaat door onvoorziene omstandigheden. Rose zou haar nieuwe boek o.a. ook gaan promoten in Toronto en L.A.
Commentaar tegen Rose: “You said that we, as trans women, are not like regular women. We get raped more often. We go through domestic violence more often,” McGowan was told. “Trans women are in men’s prisons. And what have you done for them?”
Reactie Rose: “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.”
“And you can label this thing as a breakdown. That, motherf–kers, is a breakdown. Maybe not for me, but for you. … Stop boxing everybody into shit. I didn’t agree to your cis f–king world. Ok? F–k off.”
I am canceling upcoming public appearances because I have given enough. I have given beauty, in return I was VERBALLY ASSAULTED for two full minutes @BNBuzz by an actor paid to verbally assault a woman who has been terrorized by your system. And no ONE in that room did anything
