I'll wish you luck and hope that you won't need it. TRAs made the bold attempt to put black trans folks ahead of black women and men before with BLM. The change in goals seems to have taken a foothold with the media that I've seen, but I'm not sure how it actually is within the many black communities. What have you observed?

A black woman who was a teacher in Queens and lived within the community was tossed aside for the sake of Emilia Decaudin in a bad thrift store dress with full on Beanie Weenee on display-claiming the protections of being nonbinary.

That's not a community that gives a shit about race. It's predominantly white men that are transitioning. You're talking about a world of privilege that we can only dream about. They will still have access to their social networks. And lots with access to tech, lots with access to power. If any opposition comes up, they will likely make the attempt in trying to censor it.

You can see how the community sees it on Lipstickalley in subsection Lounge. They talk about it.
