Discussing the human rights issues that are impacting transgender communities of color | Basic Black

On this episode of Basic Black, we explore the issues impacting the Black transgender community and how transgender men and women of color navigate these ongoing concerns of discrimination, housing, employment, violence, and death. Also, we examine President Biden administration’s stand on LGBTQIA+ rights and how the calls for support for transgender communities of color must come from allies and not just policies alone.
