On the TDoR: Advocate model Rain Dove Maced in Ladies room
We just made history apparently! First time ever that a person has been in the cover of a “Men’s” magazine and a “Women’s” magazine at the same time! @divamagazine and @gaytimesmag worked together to release a cover that featured the same human on the front as a supportive statement about nonbinary, nonconforming, genderfluid, gender queer and more type individuals.
Rose Mcgowan’s partner, gender fluid model Rain Dove was maced by a woman in the ladies room November 20th as first reported by Hate Trackers.The woman then messaged Rain on Instagram telling them that she was happy for the pain that she caused them.
Rain Dove posted about the assualt on Instagram
“This person peppersprayed me in a “women’s restroom” a little bit ago. I didn’t get to converse with this being because this person just sprayed me and ran past with their kids in terror, asking the security guard to come in and confront me. I wasn’t even able to get the humans name because of the chaos and the washing.”
Amazingly the mother contacted them on Instagram to gloat. But Rain Dove responded with love and compassion,,,
“Then suddenly out of the blue this person contacted me again. We had a conversation and here’s how it went. We have a Skype convo schedule with a trans friend of mine as well to get another perspective. In exchange we are buying this person lunch via delivery. Just get the education out there. Stop the pain. Stop the violence. Stop the homogenous assessment.”
Born with a female body, Rain Dove Dubilewski lived their early years believing they were ugly according to their Wiki page. Called “Danielle” by their parents, the large framed child was taunted by cruel classmates with the perjorative “Tranny Danny”.
On becoming a fashion model…
Rain Dove told the Miami Hearld that they lost a bet on a football game to a friend who happened to be a model.
We were watching a Cleveland Browns game, and she told me I should be a model. I said that models are pretentious people who don’t eat. She said, “If you choose the winning team, I’ll do you a favor. If I choose the winning team, you’ll go to a casting call.” She won, so I went. I looked around and there were a bunch of blonde women, and they told me I was there on the wrong day. When I came back the next day, I realized it was all men. I thought they made a mistake, but I decided I might as well go with it, and they cast me. A few hours before the show they handed me my outfit — a pair of Calvin Klein men’s underwear — and I waited until 20 minutes before I was supposed to walk out on the runway. The stylist said, “Why aren’t you in your outfit?”
So they gave you nothing to cover your top half?
“Exactly. So I put on the underwear and walked out topless, breasts flopping everywhere. I thought the designer was going to pass out; he was so confused. So he puts me in a big Calvin Klein men’s shirt and says, “Swear to God, you will not tell anyone you’re a woman!” I walked out and I walked back. I didn’t tell anyone I was a woman. I even kissed a girl at the end of the day. The show didn’t get as much publicity as the people who coordinated it would’ve liked, so they started telling people: “Did you know that boy #17 was actually a girl?” That’s when people started seeking me out to do other work.”
