IF YOURE TRANS READ/SHARE THIS POST
So I recently found a detailed study called Access Denied from 2015, a couple years before I moved to DC, that has statistics on the trans community here broken down by gender identity and race, among other things. The info is. Stark. especially from a transfeminist point of view. Moreso, it illustrates the racial divides in the trans community and why trans liberation CANNOT be separate from racial liberation and liberation from white supremacy.
For context, DC is about half Black demographically, and has one of the largest queer, and especially trans, percentages for a state in the country with 14.3% identifying as lgbtq. While there are regional differences of course, this is a very large survey by trans research standards with over 500 respondents.
(Above not from Access DENIED)
I’ll include most info below the cut bc this’ll already be a longer post, but I want to put one specific section and some tables above it:
TW in this survey for stats on suicide and various types of abuse;
9. Assault and Violence
-Experience of assault is most commonly reported among TWOC.
-Out of responding trans people, 74% had been verbally assaulted, 42% physically assaulted, and 35% sexually assaulted.
-57% and 47% of transfemmes had been physically or sexually assaulted, compared to 17% and 14% of transmascs.
-Racially, 54/47% of Black and 60/56% of Hispanic trans people had been physically or sexually assaulted, vs. 14% of whites.
—Among Black trans people, 62% of transfemmes had been assaulted, vs. 14% of transmascs.
—Among Hispanic trans people, 70% of transfemmes had been assaulted, vs. 27% of transmascs.
Stokely Carmichael in "The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975"
Toward the end of the Reconstruction era, something very significant happened. That is what was known as the Populist Movement. The leaders of this movement began awakening the poor white masses and the former Negro slaves to the fact that they were being fleeced by the emerging Bourbon interests. Not only that, but they began uniting the Negro and white masses into a voting bloc that threatened to drive the Bourbon interests from the command posts of political power in the South.
To meet this threat, the southern aristocracy began immediately to engineer this development of a segregated society. I want you to follow me through here because this is very important to see the roots of racism and the denial of the right to vote. Through their control of mass media, they revised the doctrine of white supremacy. They saturated the thinking of the poor white masses with it, thus clouding their minds to the real issue involved in the Populist Movement. They then directed the placement on the books of the South of laws that made it a crime for Negroes and whites to come together as equals at any level. And that did it. That crippled and eventually destroyed the Populist Movement of the nineteenth century.
If it may be said of the slavery era that the white man took the world and gave the Negro Jesus, then it may be said of the Reconstruction era that the southern aristocracy took the world and gave the poor white man Jim Crow. He gave him Jim Crow. And when his wrinkled stomach cried out for the food that his empty pockets could not provide, he ate Jim Crow, a psychological bird that told him that no matter how bad off he was, at least he was a white man, better than the black man. And he ate Jim Crow. And when his undernourished children cried out for the necessities that his low wages could not provide, he showed them the Jim Crow signs on the buses and in the stores, on the streets and in the public buildings. And his children, too, learned to feed upon Jim Crow, their last outpost of psychological oblivion.

In 1967, Julia Roberts' parents welcomed Martin Luther King Jr.'s children into their Atlanta acting school during segregation. When the Roberts family couldn't pay the hospital bill after Julia's birth, the Kings covered the expenses in gratitude.
