Transgender activist and internet influencer Rose Montoya—born a male and identifying as a bisexual and nonbinary woman—shook hands with the president of the United States on the South Lawn of the White House on June 10.
Seconds later, accompanied by two men who were shirtless, Montoya undressed above the waist, revealing breasts, before covering them again by hand. The moment was captured on video, posted online, and quickly became go-to, widely shared, and sensational theater.
