I just want to take a minute to talk about how in the US over 44 transgender people were killed so far this year, a majority of them being black trans women. The violence and hate against black transgender women is horrific, and I think about it every day, and as a white trans man alone it effects me to just think about it, so I can’t imagine what it must be like being a black trans woman in the US. If you are a black trans woman, I just want to let you know that you are beautiful, brave, and powerful, and I see you, I hear you, and I stand with you, and I think about you every single day, you are so brave to be in a world filled with all kinds of hate towards you, and yet you still keep marching and being who you are. You are so beautiful and strong, I love you
