        #DominiqueFells was found in a river with trauma to her head and face and severed legs. #RiahMilton has already been misgendered and deadnamed on initial reports.

        Cis folks of the Movement 4 Black Lives, the larger queer movement, and feminist movement have long failed Black trans people. It's time for a reckoning on your collective silence and inaction.

        What will it take for y’all to hear us? Do you really read these posts, read these articles, hear our pleas, hear our speeches, and feel nothing?

        I believe the #BlackTransMovement has said in nearly every way that the communities we share with y’all need transformation and that we can’t do it alone. A fight against state violence is only scratching the surface.

        You act as if you’ll get to what’s happening to us one day, but our lives can’t wait! And the thing is, the same transphobia that fuels your inaction, your silence, is the same transphobia that brutally attacks us. It’s a spectrum of violence.

        Imagine the luxury of only caring about the lives of cis folks, cis men. Imagine the luxury of only mourning the deaths of cis folks, cis men.

        We mourn for you, do you mourn for us? We cry for you, do you cry for us? We rally for you, do you rally for us? We imagine better for you, do you imagine better for us? Here’s another morning, after another long night of wondering, “What will it take for y’all to hear us?”
