being othered & ALLIANCESFor Trans women of color (twoc) life is very different than the rest of the world population, twoc are constantly de-humanized not only because we may look different than other women, but also having 'dark skin' or being an immigrant adds a whole other layer of discrimination and social abandonment.

I believe in prioritizing Trans women of color, creating safe spaces for our women to transition emotionally and medically or explore gender.
A Trans Women Community Center is of paramount importance to our survivor and creating leadership. |
Our History |
Even long before the Stonewall Rebellion Trans women of color have always been the face of the LGBT community, have always been visible and reachable.
Because Trans women of color have been denied jobs and opportunities, there are very few choices other than engaging in SURVIVAL SEX WORK, but because SEX WORK is illegal in the state of New York our women are stigmatized and now we are all profiled as sex workers perpetuating a VICIOUS CYCLE of poverty & despair. |
