Is this part of being sex positive? I have not read enough about prostitution, but I am almost completely sure that all sex workers face a very high risk of being murdered because the men who want to butcher women know that they are most likely to get off if she is a prostitute.

The bit about black trans women facing the highest murder rate of all groups is not actually true. I saw one calculation where in the US it came to roughly the same rate as the rate black women in the same job face in genera. All murders are horrible and all murderers are despicable, but it is odd how one neo-group of black women (with male bodies) gets all the attention while natal black women have to jump up and down and yell to even be noticed.

The overall rate at which transgender people are murdered in the US is actually realy low, lower than the rate at which all women are murdered. So even TRAs dare not lie about that rate, but they have chosen to hook onto the BLM with the black trans woman rate. It is still a lie that it would be the highest rate.

Then there is the fact that many of the recent killings of black trans women in the US were not by the punters but rather similar in type to how all murders are. In other words, a lot of intimate partner killings or fights within the family or drug deals gone bad and so on. What she says about sex workers deserving to exist in their careers without consistent shame and violence is very true, of course. But which group is it which does the shaming and the violence? Who are the people we hear yelling about whores all the time and so on? It is not SWERFs. Which is a completely nonsensical term.

I haven't watched the video yet, just read the text.

Every single article about trans women who have been murdered fit into this category. I can't remember a single one (I'm sure there has to be, though) where they were murdered for being trans. In the black subs on reddit, there was a circulation of a TW being jumped, but turns out if bc the TW was (drunk?) driving, hit a teenager, and left the scene. Yeah, its wrong to jump someone, but it wasn't bc they were trans.

Question - Is this an artist who's actually known by even a "niche" group of music lovers, or is this a pornographic video set to music?

this person is known more for being messy then anything. It's just pandering, black transwomen are in so everyone is trying to make sure they use that for woke bucks.

Most these people can give TWO fucks about black transwomen. If anything the video is just going to help suck those transwomen deeper into sex work, because they'll get more chasers and "Supporters", who'll care for 10 mintues before moving on.

she has a song called "honey" which is like a love song between two women and the video is so cute. I was a big fan a few years ago but she's popular among wlw because she's bi and did a song and video with haley kiyoko where they made out. so she's not like HUGE but like definitely on the level of like jessie reyes, normani, h.e.r, in terms of popularity. so she's decently popular.

Instead of helping them gain all those things or IDK maybe getting them off the fucking street which HURTS TRANS WOMEN ESPECIALLY BLACK MORE THEN ANYTHING, it's almost as if the wokesters, want the black transwomen to stay in sex work. I guess they assume that because the ones they hired and see, seem to love their dick and sex, that all of them get into sex work because it's a passion, rather then so many being groomed into it by other Tim's, trying to support themselves, mentally ill, or sex obessed.

It's so funny how their logic is so flawed, they focus on women but men/sex work is the number 1 cause of death of transwomen but it's being pushed the hardest to keep these people on the streets. While the ones who love attention and sex are the ones online making money from it all. Do they think all those things will stop men from killing transwomen? Did it stop men from killing ACTUAL women?

EXACTLY!!!! they are so concerned about black transwomen dying but want to keep them in/encouraged them into an industry where they are being killed!

Kehlani is definitely a product of the Bay Area.
