'In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute' Justice Thurgood MarshallOne of the questions that we transpeople of color constantly are asking ourselves is when is society going to recognize our humanity?
When will you see that we are fellow travelers on Planet Earth who are part of the beautiful diversity of life?
When will our civil and human rights be respected, protected, and ensconced in the legal books of the various nations we reside in?
When will transwomen of color be considered just and beautiful as our white counterparts?
When will transmen of color be allowed to step up, use their talents and take leadership roles in the community?
When will you stop denigrating, disrespecting, and whitewashing us out of the transgender history narrative?
When are you going to pay yourselves the highest tribute and respect us as fellow human beings?
