In the words of the Trans Women of Color Collective National Director, Lourdes Ashley Hunter, “Every breath a Black trans woman takes is an act of revolution.” It is no secret that Black transwomen are hyper-visible in our society and within the Black community. Black transwomen are targeted and simultaneously erased because it is assumed that their identities are not valid nor is their humanity seen as worthy. The concept of validity and worthiness is based in oppressive beauty standards, violent binary expectations, and anti-Black racism perpetuated on a systemic level but also reproduced and enacted by individuals within our society.
