That’s the end of this thread highlighting the unfair slayings of multiple trans women of color. For Black Trans Women our average life expectancy is 35 years of age and we’re suffering an epidemic of k*llings literally 24/7. It’s very scary & dangerous.
I can only hope that myself & my other fellow trans women remain safe and at peace these last two months of 2020! This list should not have been this long at all. I hope this thread won’t be made in 2021. Please support & protect trans women and find out ways you can help!
