If you want to get involved in organizing for the safety, support, advocacy, etc. for queer and trans folx of color, please HIT ME UP so we can talk and get you acquainted with other comrades and action plans. There is strength and power in numbers and community with a common goal. And donate what you can to black trans and gender nonconforming folx, ESPECIALLY black trans women. ESPECIALLY if YOU are white/and or a person with disposable income. Others have compiled lists or even dedicated entire pages to allocating funds and resources for black trans women and trans women of color. I’ll list some here (remove the slashes): @/transyouthlunchclub @/tsblackpower @/orbgoddess @/asappparasite Depicted: Faces of the four black trans women who we have lost during pride month in the US, in the order that they’ve died.

We need to GET OUT and ACTIVELY defend black trans women. We need to demand the acknowledgement and respect for them as human beings, as black people, as women, and as women of trans experience! We need to educate and enlighten people on the existence and lives of black trans women. We need to LISTEN TO, PAY, HIRE, TALK WITH, PROTECT, DEFEND, FEED, SUPPORT, LOVE, STAND UP FOR, FIGHT FOR, HOUSE, UPLIFT, etc black trans women. We need to take care of living black trans women. We need to take action while they are ALIVE. Depicted: The faces of four black trans women who we lost in the passed two months, in the USA, in the order which we lost them in: Her name is Claire Legato. She lived to be 21 years old. She was raised by her grandmother, who she lost in 2017 and loved dearly. Claire was from Los Angeles, but she’d also lived in Florida and then Cleveland, OH where she was an actress with local theater companies.

A month later, she was pronounced dead in the hospital on May 14th, 2019. Her name is Muhlaysia Booker, also known by close ones as “LayLay”. She lived to be 23 years old. She was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. Muhlaysia was known to be a social butterfly. She often had “StoryTime” videos on Facebook where she spoke about the good and the bad of being part of the trans community. You cuh tell she was so real and funny as hell. A viral video of her getting brutally jumped in broad daylight for being trans circulated social media in mid April...she was found dead on May 18th, 2019 on a public street. Her name is Michelle “Tamika” Washington, also known as Michelle Simone. She lived to be 40 years old. She was a mentor and advocate for the trans and queer community in Philly.

When people kill snakes they see because they "might" be poisonous. Like? Even if it is...like it will slither away? Just leave it alone?
