Black transgender and gender non-conforming people face some of the highest levels of discrimination of all transgender people. A new analysis released, named, Injustice at Every Turn: A Look at Black Respondents in the National Transgender Discrimination Survey, proves it. With only a limited number of providers who can competently and respectfully help them navigate these life-changing services, trans people of color are often left to fend for themselves. The Human Rights Campaign has recorded nearly 300 cases of fatal violence against trans people since 2013 in the U.S., 84% of whom were people of color. In 2021 alone, 57 trans people were killed, and over half were Black trans women. Black trans women continue to have the highest risk for violence due to how their experiences of anti-Black racism, cissexism, and sexism intersect. This year, the majority of the over 300 anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced in states are aimed at the Trans community. The battle lines appear to be getting worse for our Trans sisters.
