      🧵 Thirty-seven transgender people have been murdered this year, making it the deadliest on record for transgender people. Gloria Allen is showing the world on Transgender Day of Remembrance that there is hope. New from @shoeleatherkate:https://bit.ly/38ZMuYh

      2/ Gia had read the statistics: The life expectancy for Black transgender women was between 30 to 35 years. So when she was 15, Gia started telling her mom that her life was halfway over. Luchina Fisher was stunned. https://bit.ly/38ZMuYh pic.twitter.com/ACOKMNyPQg

      3/ Gia is hardly alone in this experience. Many trans kids discover the community through social media due to a lack of resources at home and school. Often they first meet other trans people at a #TDOR event, gathering to honor trans murder victims. https://bit.ly/38ZMuYh pic.twitter.com/bIlYSLy85o

      4/ Annually, almost all of the victims are trans women of color like Gia. And this year isn’t offering any reprieve. With a month left to go in 2020, it's already the deadliest year on record; 2017 previously held that ominous record with 31 murders. https://bit.ly/38ZMuYh pic.twitter.com/HwPuqTp0I7

      5/ This year, however, #TDOR is different for Gia and her mother. Fisher just released @mamagloriafilm, a documentary about 75-year-old Gloria Allen, a Black trans woman in Chicago who has defied the statistics that Gia and so many trans youth may have felt were inevitable.pic.twitter.com/uHz9m98V8p

      6/ Allen has lived her life unapologetically, embraced and supported by her family, and she has shepherded countless youth through their own transitions as an advocate working at Chicago’s largest LGBTQ+ community center. https://bit.ly/38ZMuYh pic.twitter.com/3ZJiVOXJuq

      7/ “I hit walls that were up against me, but I pressed through the walls and made myself known to everybody because I’m not ashamed, and I want people to know that,” Allen told The 19th.https://bit.ly/38ZMuYh

      8/8 These are the stories she passes along to trans youth today. And her impact is clear. At a #TDOR event, a young person introduced Allen by saying, “As the cliche saying goes, you cannot know where you’re going until you know where you’ve been.”https://bit.ly/38ZMuYh
