I said this before more than a few times in various ways on this blog, but it bears repeating especially on King Day.

Last night I had a long thought provoking conversation with a friend who is the mother of a beautiful African American transwoman.

In the course of our nearly two hour conversation she shared with me she is not happy with the current state of African American transpeople and decried not only the lack of positive media exposure for African American transpeople, but the lack of exposure for positive African American trans role models and our invisibility in the larger trans and GL movement.
