This year, at Pride, Alicia Garza is encouraging Americans to work to end the epidemic of murdered Black trans women.
Exclusion, discrimination, poverty, and a lack of political power is what is killing trans women, and, particularly, trans women of color. Daring to define yourself, for yourself, is a fundamental value that this country espouses, and yet this community is not being afforded the promise that America claims to offer.
reports that Black and Black multiracial respondents had the highest rate of sex trade participation , followed by Latinx respondents .If the stories of Black trans women who are being murdered aren’t being told enough , accounts of Black trans women fighting back are just as rare. Black trans women have shaped the fight for gender equality, are shattering ceilings, and are refusing to be defined solely by their circumstances. And their stories deserve to be told.
