Considering how little we care about Black life in America, I'm absolutely shocked you would ever even leave your house as a transgender man of color at all! I'm a black woman and I get panic attacks if I even think about interacting with law enforcement, and I still fear for y'all safety more than my own. The current moral panic must be terrifying.

You not only have to put up with their craziness, but the average everyday transphobia from people who aren't the police but would like to be. I know that trans lives will probably always be in danger but I'm hoping that this particular moral panic will be over soon. We've already lost too many lives to it .
