537. Ed Abraham talks to us about trans rights in
LA. "Ed Abraham of the Real Name Campaign said “it was
people like us and everyone here whose activism made our
‘representatives’ know that we wouldn’t allow them to attack us
or to attack trans children.” Speakers at Trans March of Resilience highlighted the
disproportionate rates of violence and discrimination faced by
Black transgender women and trans people of other oppressed
nationalities. Two-thirds of the known killings of trans people
since 2013 have been against Black trans women. " (Ed
Abraham).
