2021 is now the deadliest year on record for transgender people (The 19th*)

It’s also the year that more anti-trans bills were passed in state legislatures in history. And to keep transgender people safe, we should be providing financial support and decriminalizing sex work (which many trans women turn to, as they are often denied other forms of employment).

This is not a trans issue. It’s a human rights issue. All of us deserve to live a dignified, safe life. And if you’re a trans person in this country (especially a Black or Latinx trans women), you don’t have the same safety and security as cisgender folx.
