The Transfix team is celebrating Earth Week! Transness (though this is a new word) is a natural phenomenon that has existed over the course of all history in every corner of the world. This week we celebrate our connection to each other, to the earth, to our ancestors. Through our commitment to anti-capitalist and anti-AI principles, we hope to do our own part in creating a safer and healthier world. The liberation of our community is intertwined like ancient roots with the fight for environmental justice in ALL communities. Keep an eye out as we highlight some trans-led environmental initiatives and works to explore!

Marsha P. “Pay It No Mind” Johnson (1945-1992)

At pride parades, you’ll see Marsha P. Johnson’s face plastered on signs and T-shirts, and in recent years she’s become a well-known Black Trans icon and activist . She is recognized mostly for her involvement in the Stonewall Uprising, but Marsha does not start nor end with Stonewall. By age five, Marsha styled herself in dresses despite harassment, and it was that same conviction in her self-knowing and autonomy that led her alongside Sylvia Rivera to create Street Transvestite Action (STAR), an organization dedicated to providing aid to trans youth on the streets. Often unhoused, she survived her early years in New York City as a sex worker and until her death was an outspoken advocate for the most vulnerable and oppressed.

Marsha’s legacy is like a living river, providing inspiration and sustenance to those she advocated for. In 2019, Elle Moxley founded the Marsha P Johnson Institute @mpjinstitute, a response to the epidemic of violence targeted at Black Trans Women. Black Trans Women, especially sex workers, are the most likely to face state sanctioned violence and hate perpetuated by trans misogynior and white supremacy.

“No pride for some of us without liberation for all of us.” Marsha’s words are as relevant now as they were when she spoke them; for none of us are free until we are all free to live safe and happy lives.

Submissions are open all year long! Submissions for Issue 08/Winter 2025 are open from now until November 8, 2025. Check out all the submission requirements here.
