Inspiring Unity in Trans Culture. Unity + Visiblity = Freedom
Not every mountain is moved with a major explosion. Most are moved by removing one large stone at a time. Change doesn’t happen by one man or woman, but every soul plays a part. That’s why this year I’m celebrating the everyday lives of the Black people in my life that through their lived experiences aided in the civil rights movement equally as important as any great leader.
Cuomo, in a statement released after he signed the bill into law, called the statute “archaic.” COVID exposed low tide in America and the ‘walking while trans’ policy is one example of the ugly undercurrents of injustices that transgender New Yorkers — especially those of color — face simply for walking down the street,” Cuomo said in the statement. “For too long trans people have been unfairly targeted and disproportionately policed for innocent, lawful conduct based solely on their appearance. Repealing the archaic ‘walking while trans’ ban is a critical step toward reforming our policing system and reducing the harassment and criminalization transgender people face simply for being themselves.”
Interestingly, given the four years and the Capitol Riots, our country disrespectfully was forced to deal with, this act of Reconciliation by the Democratic Controlled Congress concerning The People’s Elected President Biden’s Covid 19 Relief Package, may finally be moving forward.

If you’re cis and reading this, yes it’s true, trans people actually don’t need cis people to date and find love. I know it’s been in the news feeds over the past year about TERF, and gay trans bashers speaking out why they don’t want to date a trans person. If anyone is listening let me say my piece, “Who said I wanted to date you?” Despite these ignorant comments by transphobic, often LGB people, let me clarify; the majority of trans people are pansexual, like gender, sexuality is and can be fluid. So not all trans people are running after cis people, most of us are running from them for various reasons. Trans people are a multitude of sexualities or none at all, so that leaves a smaller percentage than many TERF’s fantasize about, that are seeking relations with cis-gender people. While a lot of issues being trans dating another trans apply as well, it’s safe to say the level of anxiety is greatly reduced, but still, we are here to give ideas on what not to do.

Twenty-eight girls compete for the title, yet many even in the trans community see little significance or purpose for these type of pageants. In fact, many would say it’s a burden to our community. Many trans pageants sadly, especially in America, are considered a hindrance to trans equality. While many are ran through gay bars for the wealth of gay owners, pageants like Miss International Queen do far more than place a crown and a couple of hundred bucks in the hands of trans women, they uplift transgender visibility, educate and push the acceptance of transgender women beyond the limits of the streets of Thailand and give them an opportunity. After collecting tens of thousands of dollars, many finally are able to complete transition and most become celebrities in their countries, going into acting roles, advocacy work, politics or singing careers. Most importantly, each time a bigot sees an entire nation celebrate the beauty, diversity, and strength of trans women, we all no matter what part of the world, are better for it.
By Lynnea Urania Stuart News in the trans community is typically a roller coaster. February was no exception. This year with international tensions relieved, at least temporarily, with the Olympic Winter Games in Pyeong Chang, hope seemed to spill over in a world desperate for hope as if it was a nearly extinct mastodon […]
