This Pride Month is extra important this year. Trans rights are under attack, we are being murdered, raped and abused at higher rates than ever before. I fear for my family, millions of trans children are being silenced and forced into binary systems that have failed us. It shouldn’t have be this way. We live in America, the whole idea of this place was to be yourself and you can accomplish anything. Trans adult are facing systemic oppression. Trans men and specifically Black Trans Men are one of the most vulnerable populations in America and have almost completely been forgotten by most. Trans women are facing a different kind of discrimination and oppression, we are being broadcasted in a constant negative light and falsely attributed to things that we don’t do. Blaming us for domestic terrorist attacks, school shootings and predatory behavior against children, things that statistically are more likely to be preformed by a Cis White Male than any other population. The mere idea of our existence is disturbing to some and most of the time…they have never even met a trans person. Getting positive trans allies into positions of power is so important right now. So I ask all CIS, Straight and other queer allies to please stand up for us, please speak publicly in support for us, please help us. We can’t do it on our own, we need more voices. To our allies who are proudly supporting us currently, I want to thank you. Your voice means more than you can ever imagine. Truly thank you. I also wanted to remember the now 7+ trans brothers and sisters who have been murdered in the past couple of months. It’s important that we remember their names, acknowledge the threat that trans people are facing and be loudly against it. Rest in Pride…they were murdered for just trying to live their lives🕊️💜 Davonta Curtis, 31, April 5th, 2026 Alennna Belcher, 32, April 17th, 2026 Luca RedBeard, 39, April 18th, 2026 Juniper Blessing, 19, May 10th, 2026 Eryka Caldwell, 41, May 17th, 2026 Murry Foust, 22, May 25th, 2026 Finally, to all the transwomen and men who have never been found.
