The trans narrative in this country for the last six decades been told from an overwhelmingly white trans feminine perspective with slightly more ink in the last few years for the white trans masculine one. Our Black, Asian and Latino trans brothers get little if no media love period...
There is the need for views on various trans and non trans issues with flavor it to be expressed by trans POC's in order to break down the trans ignorance that still persist in gay and straight elements of our own communities of color. Just as you get to do, we want the ability to tell our own histories and discuss how the issues of the day impact us.
We trans people of color deserve the opportunity to point out to all the communities we intersect and interact with we exist, are intertwined with and part of the diverse mosaic of human life.
