Almost all of the people who die from America's racism problem are normal men & women and are NOT trans identified. Non-white trans people who die usually die from being in the dangerous profession of "sex work" aka prostitution, rather than the incidents of police brutality that BLM is about.

Statistically speaking, of all the black victims of racist violence, a tiny, TINY minority will be transgender. Like, I'd wager less than 1%. So why exactly do they come first? Even worse, why do I mostly see WHITE TRAs whining about "trans lives matter", because surprise surprise a lot of trans people are white and financially stable?

But of course any time a trans prostitute is killed, it's not a result of being in a profession we have hard data showing it has a large risk of violence, it's simply "because they were trans". They love to frame every single death from the perspective that prostitution is somehow a safe profession, despite us knowing it's not (women are killed all the time). Everything has to be framed by the trans movement in such a way as to present themselves as having perpetual victimhood.

If you say that prostitution is dangerous and harmful you get told you're a "SWERF", "sex negative" and that "sex work is work!" And yet the same people who are using trans prostitute's deaths to make a point are supporting the prostitution industry + sites like PornHub which have been known to be harmful even to WILLING participants. Which makes me think they actually don't give a shit.

This raising up of the trans thing in the BLM movement is weird and suspect. All anyone needs to do is check the BLM organization's "What We Believe" section of their website to see that trans agitprop is top and center of their platform: https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/

Sexual "identity" gets a passing mention and they juxtapose heteronormativity with queer. There's something I can't quite put my finger on about what they're up to, but I can't shake the feeling that the trans part of it is about way more than simply promoting the transgender concept out of compassion.

It disgusts me, honestly. People have died, and unfortunately more will probably die, and yet trans people choose to make it all about them. And yes, little to no recognition to black LGB people or anything like that. Just trans trans trans despite them being a tiny portion of any community's population, and the fact that this is a RACISM issue not a TRANS issue.

It's basically like if I were to walk into a protest about rights for disabled people, and loudly started yelling "well what about disabled INTERSEX people? WE MATTER!" and made us intersex people the front of the movement just because. First of all, that's a minority within a minority, secondly, nobody would have ever said "We're all for disabled people EXCEPT intersex disabled people specifically." Like, it makes no sense. The group wasn't being excluded to begin with.

And even though I believe that intersex activism would have merit, I'd never hijack another movement to make others aware of my issues. That's just a dick move.

It's well known homosexuality is less tolerated in the black community than most others. Seems strange that there really isn't anything in their platform which takes that on. It just goes straight to black trans "women".

If that's the case it might be that Trans is seen as 'acceptable' conversion therapy in the black community a la Iran.
