I'm a Phenomenal Transwoman who is proud to be militantly Black and trans. But one of the things I share with my cis sisters is having to fend off attacks on our images from people who aren't qualified to be members of the femininity police.

Just because a cis African American woman is above 5'7" tall doesn't make her trans any more than being below that height makes one a ciswoman.
