I've been griping about the out of control transphobia in the Black gossip blogosphere lately that has found a new target around VH1's Love and Hip Hop Atlanta's Joseline Hernandez.
I penned an op-ed piece that was published at Loop 21.com over the weekend entitled The Transmisogyny Aimed At Joseline Hernandez Is An Outrage.

One thing that bothers me as a proud, African descended transwoman is the ongoing sexist attacks aimed at women of color.
Women come in all shapes, sizes, skin tones and body configurations, but women of color have had to deal with a centuries old 'vanillacentric' beauty standard that was not created with them or their bodies in mind and uplifts white women as the ultimate templates for femininity while negatively impacting women of color.
I agree with your last point.

Which is actually true, women and men both are criticized over their cast, color, shape and anything that people could. But Joseline is a strong women and she has already achieved much. She has a huge net worth and generating huge revenue as mentioned here. http://peoplebynetworth.com/joseline-hernandez-net-worth/
She has also been posting her gym pictures on instagram which is kind of cute.
