"Black trans activists want their stories centered"

As they always do. This shouldn't be news

Black trans activists are the most narcissistic people on the planet

It's a bit moot, as everyone wants their own stories centered. They are the oft advertised face of the movement but I highly doubt they have any real power. HSTS don't tend to, and black transwomen are invariably so, due in part to the aforementioned homophobia in black culture, and- being steeped in actual undignified marginalization, they 'ain't got time' for the misogynistic humiliation fetishes that many white transwomen indulge in.

Sure, there's a lot of sound and fury from this particular subset of trans, but I'll bet if their current figureheads ever seriously went for anything other than being a mere ethnic token for the TRAs they would get kicked to the curb so fast by the actual people in power in favor of the lionization of other "Straight" black transwomen. And there are certainly no shortage of those..
