I’ve no doubt that reparations would solve economic issues and are, on balance, a phenomenally good idea. But what you were asked was
Money does not solve ‘…discrimination, oppression, and violence against trans people of color…’. It didn’t protect prosperous Black people in your country from having entire communities destroyed, so I can’t see how it would keep Black trans women from being murdered. In fact - if history is any indication - it would exacerbate it.
