if you consider yourself trans before you consider yourself black then go start a different movement.

if you consider yourself black before you consider yourself trans then stop trying to differentiate yourself.

i don't see "cis" black women doing this shyt, this is some attention seeking stuff, plain and simple.

1) BLM was literally created by queer black women.

2) If "black lives matter" surely that means black trans lives matter. I would argue that those trying to say "all black lives matter" are essentially making the "all lives matter" argument that white people make.

3) That being said, I have no issue with black trans people being heard because they have something important to say, and I respect them.

I don't care who trademarked BLM.

It's more than a trademark, its solely the truth.

You're either disingenuous or a dumbass if you don't understand why people see it as dividing when the conversation is pulled in opposite directions.

We're a minority in terms of population and economic leverage.
We need a fist to punch holes into these systemic legislative issues, and you're disingenuous/dumbass is talking about i hear them, I respect them.

All this does, is turn a fist into an open hand, where these digits wriggle this way n those digits wriggle that way.

That's not gonna cut it in 2020.

I guess you skipped my second point huh. Turning this into the black version of "all lives matter" isn't a good look. That being said, I have no issue with various aspects of the black community telling their stories and struggles. In this case, one rally for black trans women. If one rally offends you, or makes you think the "focus" is being taken away from the types of black people you care about...that's on you, not them.
