"An awful trend of violence against transgender women of color has bled into 2015, but there's been little mainstream media attention to their deaths. It's left some activists to question whether the Black Lives Matter movement inspired by the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown or Eric Garner include all black lives."

I suspect it's the same reason why I see mostly white representation for well known transguys and memoirs. I have rarely seen positive stuff from TPOC. >__>

I don't often agree with MSNBC but this is one of those rare occasions.
