The simple answer? Reparations. $350,000 would solve the majority of those issues, wouldn't it?
I have no problem with reparations. Resources are essential. But how can we specifically target the hatred and violence against black trans women that is considered a “pandemic” in America right now? I’m thinking a good first step would be clear, public messaging that trans women are women, and a sharp and passionate rebuking of anyone, especially wildly popular celebrities with expansive platforms, who insinuate or explicitly assert otherwise. If we aren’t actively fighting against harmful, false narratives about trans folks, like that they’re sick and that they need to be fixed or that they’re just “confused,” then we’re not helping trans people.
I think I, a white woman, care more about the black trans community than you do, Hugz. Now, go ahead and die mad about it.
