Trans women have always been here — leading, creating, surviving, and shaping culture, even as history books ignored their stories. 🏳️‍⚧️ From trailblazing icons like Tracy “Africa” Norman and Mary Jones to ancient figures like Elagabalus and the Chevalier d’Éon, our trans foremothers have been healing, resisting, and pushing culture forward for centuries. ✨️ | Out Magazine

Trans people exist beyond a letter in an acronym. Hollywood should strive to tell stories that humanize Black trans people — not tokenize them. #TransAwarenessWeek #Trans | Human Rights Campaign
