Love me or hate me
Black trans women deserve to exist, not as symbols or arguments, but as whole human beings. Their lives hold joy, pain, humor, talent, and love. Existing openly should not require bravery, yet they are forced to be brave every day just to live.

Black trans women are not new, nor are they temporary. They have always existed across cultures and history. Erasure is a tool of injustice meant to make their presence seem unnatural or disposable.

Black trans women deserve economic stability and opportunity. Poverty is not a personal failure but the outcome of discrimination. Fair access to jobs, education, and resources is a matter of justice.

Injustice exists when institutions refuse to learn. Schools, workplaces, and healthcare systems must change to meet the needs of Black trans women, not force them to adapt to harmful environments.

The right to exist includes the right to be visible without danger. Black trans women should be able to express themselves freely, without fear that authenticity will invite violence, ridicule, or punishment.

Centering Black trans women strengthens everyone. Their liberation challenges systems that harm many others too. When the most marginalized are protected, society becomes more honest, compassionate, and fair for all.

Violence against Black trans women is not random. It is the result of hatred being tolerated and normalized. When their deaths are ignored or misreported, injustice deepens, sending the message that their lives are disposable.

Injustice exists when people stay silent. Neutrality allows harm to continue. Choosing to care, to speak up, and to protect Black trans women is an active step toward justice, not an optional gesture of support.

Black trans women matter. Their lives are valuable, sacred, and nonnegotiable. Injustice exists, but so does the power to resist it. Affirming their right to exist is not radical it is human, necessary, and long overdue.

Black trans women deserve peace in their daily lives. Peace in their homes, relationships, and bodies. The constant pressure to explain or defend themselves is a burden no one should carry just to be treated as human.

Injustice exists when Black trans women are excluded from conversations about justice itself. Movements that ignore them reinforce harm, even while claiming progress. True justice cannot be selective or conditional.

Black trans women live at the intersection of racism and transphobia, where harm multiplies. Discrimination limits access to housing, healthcare, and safety. These barriers are not accidents they are built systems that continue to fail and endanger them.

Love is also political. When Black trans women are denied love, care, and belonging, society reinforces injustice. Creating spaces where they are cherished is a radical and necessary act.

Saying Black trans women deserve to exist means believing them when they speak. It means respecting their names, pronouns, and identities. Recognition is not kindness it is basic dignity that has been denied for far too long.

Injustice exists when systems profit from their pain. When healthcare excludes them, employment shuts them out, and policing targets them, harm becomes routine. These conditions are maintained by choices, not inevitability, and they can be changed.
