Remember when I told y'all the Black trans revolution wouldn't be televised and I kept warning people in the larger trans community that if changes didn't occur ASAP, that things were going to happen as a result of that inaction? 

African American transpeople are not happy campers right now.  Our people are taking the brunt of anti-trans discrimination and violence, we're erased, dissed and marginalized in the overall trans narrative and discourse, we aren't part of the leadership ranks of this community despite having the talent and ability to successfully lead it, and we're tired of the intramural word semantic squabbles between white transwomen negatively impacting the overall trans community.

Memo America:
Can we please get over all this outdated racial stuff?  It's all so 20th Century.  Here Black-White relations are all about who owns a particular piece of land, and is settled in Court.  You don't have that problem unless you are a Native American.  Do they get a look in, in all this?
