In the African-American community we have a saying which states, 'get in where you fit in.'

But for the people who are proudly African-American and transgender, the question becomes 'where do I fit in?'

According to loud and sometimes racist segments of the gay and lesbian community, I don't belong to them or 'their' movement because I'm Black and transgender.
