One of the things I'm determined to make happen is doing my part to help eradicate the negative perceptions and stereotypes aimed of African descended transwomen.
I'm more than sick of the 'unwoman' shade and negativity aimed at Black transwomen. I'm tired of the hypersexualization, the othering and the outright lies written and uttered about who we are.
I want our next generation of African descended trans kids to dream big and not have their lives cut short by anti-trans violence or be crippled by shame, guilt and fear of being a trans person.
So what am I going to do about it? For starters, I'm going to use this electronic platform and get y'all to do some hard, solid thinking with me as we ponder the birth and rise of a New Black Transwoman.
