BLACK TRANS GIRLS ROCK!!!! I’m willing to B.E.T. that no trans women were invited or highlighted at #BlackGirlsRock. Is it 18 now? 18 black trans women have been killed this year, but NO MENTION during the segment dedicated to the lives lost??? 🗑

Hi @claudiajordan can you shift your focus from beneath our clothes and underwear to the fact that 18 black trans women have been murdered this far. The latest a 17 year old girl Bailey Reeves? Why aren't your questions around how you can assist in protecting black trans women? pic.twitter.com/SsCtnTnxJi

This is precisely why while I love us as Black women, it’s important to me that we have space for us to acknowledge & address where we don’t do right by each other. There’s absolutely NO reason we should still be excluding trans women from celebrations of Black womanhood. https://t.co/jkK2TbIDbW
