The history of using bathroom facilities as a segregatory weapon is as old as bathrooms themselves.

And at this point, I'm giving up, because cis black people have an excellent point. But it's still cis people policing trans lives.

And I don't want to get into the intersectionality arguments. So I guess I'll just lift black trans voices from now on.

Because it's totally correct that it's wrong to co-opt black history for our cause. This isn't our Selma. Don't make that comparison.

So anyhow, to cap this thread, this is a call for the trans community to come up with some tools for this that don't erase black history.

Or better, more tools that amplify and recognize the long history of black trans contributions.
