This is why we need to protect transwomen of color at all cost. All of these beautiful people where murdered this year, and they represent only the most public and brutal murders of transwomen all over the world. This is why cisphobia isn’t a real fucking thing, this is why I hate you because your cissexist transphobic actions lead to the deaths of beautiful and brilliant people.
While we’re mourning the suicides in our community, let us not overlook the violence that takes so many trans women, specifically trans women of color, from us every year.
And please do everything in your power to remind people you interact with that trans people are actual human beings deserving of respect, kindness and humanity.
