    You were one year from moving back to Texas, feeling like your life had stagnated in Da Ville, and had a three year old blog you were just starting to gain a voice with. The next decade will be an amazing one for you

    Sometimes I feel like i have to remind people that Im black and that makes me feel less black, But yeah! Im black and im trans and I'm here and I think it's important our community acknowledges black trans people because we are murdered countlessly in our own commities.

    I hope Black media is paying attention. When traditionally white publications are putting our own rising stars on their covers before we are, that should be a wake-up call.

    “I know there are other people like me, black trans men, who need to be able to see people like me talking about abortion access. No one is talking about pregnancy and childbirth in a trans inclusive way.” Abortion access is a critical LGBTQ issue.

    If a fetus is a person at 6 weeks pregnant, is that when the child support starts? Is that also when you can’t deport the mother because she’s carrying a US citizen? Can I insure a 6 week fetus and collect if I miscarry? Just figuring if we’re going here we should go all in.
