Every day on the train I raise the partition by increasing the volume in my headphones. “Needed me” by Rihanna is the latest separation between the world and me. I sometimes wonder if Islan Nettles would have liked this song. Islan Nettles, a black trans woman, was murdered in 2013 after a man realized she was transgender shortly after hitting on her. Under the gaze of yesterday’s predator in a new mask, I turn the volume as high as it can go. He smiles at me. Would he kill me if he found out that I’m transgender?repairing sisterhood between cis and trans women -- source link
