Trans(forming) is deeply disturbed by the latest trend of fatal violence against black trans-feminine people. These stories are not new, and this collectively serves as another urgent reminder that we all have to do better to ensure trans-feminine people are protected and put in situations to thrive.
Trans(forming) is honored to trust black trans-feminine leadership and be an organization that is privileged to work alongside leaders in LaGender and G.L.I.T.S.
To the trans-feminine people we know:
We love you, cherish you, and will keep you in our thoughts during this hard time. We encourage our base to financially support the girls and put their money where their mouth is. Links to organizations ran by sisters we proudly work alongside can be found below.

MOREHOUSE COLLEGE TO ADMIT TRANS MEN IN 2020
(but don't clap too soon)
Trans and gender non-conforming alumni of the college are mostly rallying against this policy. They deserve our support.
It would be no surprise if Morehouse discriminates against trans men who apply by requiring they have certain surgeries, physiques, and gender expression before matriculation. It should be understood that gender policing in any form is anti-trans.
Morehouse alumni make it clear that trans men will not be safe on this campus as is.
The Trans Visibility March on DC will now be on Saturday September 28th.
Trans(forming) urges you to join us in DC on at this time. We will march in support of equal rights and inclusion for our community. March with us to demand justice for our siblings whose lives were taken through senseless murders and negatively impacted by discrimination. More updates coming soon, but you can find more information here.
Victor reached out and asked for assistance applying pressure to the institution to hold them accountable for their inaction. They are specifically calling for the resignation of the dean of students, Sandra Vasquez, as she sent Victor even more threatening emails while there were active threats against their life.
It is unacceptable what young black trans people have to go through to receive their education. Please support this student by signing the petition, emailing, and calling for Sandra Vasquez to be held accountable for her inaction. Young trans scholars of color are our future and we must support them at all costs.

Today marks 50 years since Dr. Martin Luther King Junior was assassinated on April 4, 1968 in Memphis Tennessee just after 6pm. We choose not to focus solely on his death but on his triumphs as well. Please enjoy this recording of his acceptance speech for his Nobel Peace Prize (October 14, 1964-Oslo, Norway). While many focus strictly on Dr.King's "I Have A Dream" speech there are many more to enjoy for free. You will find audio and video of some of his letters and 30+ speeches. Please take some time to enjoy more of his brilliance.
Happy 11 years Of Making A Difference! We hope to have many more.
To celebrate our 11 years of service we are asking for donations. Remember, giving to us is tax-deductible!
We are one of few black trans-led organizations throwing down for our people and your support makes a huge impact.
