Black Trans History IS Black History!
To those who shaped culture and built possibilities where none were offered. To those who fought, created, and demanded a future where Black trans lives not only exist, but thrive.
We are here because of you.

This week marked a major escalation in federal attacks on bodily autonomy and gender-affirming care (GAC) for trans youth, and the effects will be felt nationwide.
Like abortion care, access to gender-affirming care is a HUMAN RIGHT and right now, we must come together to protect it. 🧵👇
