#trans woman of colour

Just to let the community know; that we wouldn’t be where we are today. Without our strong trans women of colour fighting for our rights. They have paved the foundation for us to build our community on. Yet, their names lost to the memories of history, even with their impactful strides. We need to acknowledge this beautiful and strong women, if we ever want to help stop the massacre of our trans sisters. There is a epidemic having within our community. we need to stop it, give our trans members of colour hope to live past the age of 35 before having their lives taken.

I will say their names:

Marsha P Johnson

Sylvia Riva

Miss Major Griffin-Gacy

Crystal Labeija

Angie Xtravaganza

Now out of the five names I’ve said- only one is with us today or had made it into the 21th century.
