Facial hair, strong jaws, ‘masculine’ (made-up) features are all present on women of colour. There’s a reason every transphobic person is also racist. Their ideas of womanhood have always been based on a racialised history, a history of violence against women of colour.

There is history to the violence faced by women of colour and trans women and that is primarily rooted in a long tradition of phrenology & eugenics. Biological determination of what is and isn’t real, good, woman or man has been used to commit acts of violence. Violence is bad.
