I remember being told I could never have someone who would love me openly & without restrictions, I remember crying at night about the way that was being conditioned to see my circumstance. I am a BLACK TRANS WOMAN, who in their right mind would ever want to build a life with me?

BLACK TRANS PEOPLE are tired of having to fight white supremacy and then turn around and fight black men 4 our right to live. #BlackLivesMattter I’m taking up space?intersectionally! If we wait on y’all to see the problem with transphobia you’ll kill us faster than the police!

I've said it once and I'll say it again @gabunion and @dwyanewade are true pioneers when it comes to showcasing an understanding of parenting black queer children. I can only imagine where some of us would've been if ignorance wasn't running so rampant in our communities.

Dave Chapelle's recent Netflix special. I just wanted come and offer this up to people who don't understand, but genuinely want a different take as to why black trans women specifically are not finding the comedy and Mr. Chapelle's latest work of "art" funny.

Three years ago Nigel took his life due to the bullying he endured for simply not subscribing to the idea of the heteronormative ideas of black men that we've decided to conform to. Nigel didn't deserve to feel so alone that he felt his only option was to not be here.

Who would wanna share their most intimate moments with me? I remember giving up on love. Believing that maybe everyone else was right. Maybe all I would be good for was a late-night therapy session & then YOU came along. You fought against every wall I built to keep you away.

Where does your “love” for black people stop? That’s a serious inquiry because if it’s at the feet of black lgbt folks I beg you stop perpetuating a false narrative around your views of “rooting for everybody black”. #blacktrans #indyamoore

A black trans girl has recently reached the age of 18 and bravely revealed her true identity to her brother. Shockingly, instead of accepting and supporting her, he responded with unfathomable violence, brutally beating her and even attempting to take her life.

It is important for gay men to not support transphobic rhetoric for the sake of cis-het approval because it perpetuates harm towards transgender individuals and reinforces the harmful societal norms that contribute to discrimination and oppression.

Trans people are one of the most marginalized and vulnerable communities worldwide, facing discrimination, harassment, and violence on a daily basis. Trans women, in particular, experience some of the highest rates of violence, including murder.

Do you realize how hard it would be to take “Cis” as a slur seriously? Ex: You're so CIS “Yea it's cause your cis” “I mean cis people do that” Some of y'all wanna be oppressed so bad you'll break your arm reaching for a struggle.
