Protect Black Trans Women - Tumblr Posts
Everyday we are reminded that white privilege will over take any other minority status one has. And the most media outlets like to smile and 'Diversity 🤗' but then ignore or even blackout any of the issues and news that are indigestible for white general audiences.
Laverne Cox and her friend were stalked and attacked in public by a transphobia piece of shit and the only thing covered was Elliot Page coming out. Why aren't both of these important and relevant stories being told?
Oh, that's right! Cuz yall dont care about Black Women, especially trans Black woman.
There is more outed support for Elliot just mentioning that he has concerns for his safety, then there was support for Laverne calling out for help from literally having her life endangered because she's trans.
Tumblr in particular is real silent, (you know, save for Black women) like Elliot is top trending, I saw a post praising fucking wikipedia for being so quick to change Elliots pronouns on his page. But any coverage or concern for Laverne???? Just yall Silence.
