We've had a major victory in the LGBTQ community this month but we've also had some losses. Last week, within 24 hours of each other, two black trans women were found murdered with very little press coverage. It’s heart wrenching. Their names were Dominique ‘Rem’mie’ Fells(left) and Riah Milton (right). Say their names!

We have to shine a light on this issue and continue to defend the groups that need it most. Transgender people are at heightened risk for fatal violence, especially transgender women of color.

This month I’ve donated my entire June Monthly Patreon proceeds so far to organizations supporting the #blm movement with a portion going toward the //www.bravespacealliance.org/

TW: Murder, Transphobia, Graphic Violence As we head into Pride month, all of us cis people need to try harder to support the trans community, especially Black trans people, including myself. Know what the terms 'cis' and 'enby' and 'TERF' mean. Swipe for more we can do, the one with the graphic description of what was done to her body is the last one if you need to skip that. Please read below. Posted @withregram • @munroebergdorf TW: Murder, Transphobia, Graphic Violence. This week we lost another two black trans sisters to transphobic violence, with next to no media attention or public outrage. At times like this we are reminded just how little care there is for black trans lives, let alone when we are murdered. On Tuesday, the body of Dominique “Rem’mie” Fells was pulled from a river in Philadelphia. She had trauma to her face and head, her legs were severed mid thigh. Also on Tuesday, Riah Milton was shot multiple times, then robbed and her car stolen. She died at the scene. All black lives cant matter, until black trans lives matter. The violence that we continue to face as a community needs to end. Both women are being misgendered in the small amount of media attention that these cases have attracted. Whilst wealthy white cisgender women like JK Rowling and others who follow the abusive strand of “gender critical feminism”, tweet falsehoods and ignorance about our community, black transgender women are facing unimaginable violence, poverty, unemployment and injustice. This violence is massively disproportionate when you take into consideration that trans people make up 0.6% of the American population, this is reduced even further with the intersection of blackness. The conversation surrounding the trans community needs to change. Ignoring these deaths in favour of dehumanising debates over what bathroom we should use, or whether trans kids should have access to healthcare, needs to stop. It is upholding an environment of hostility and violence towards us and lives are being lost because of it.

Black girls and women are fighting many types of wars in this movement and being forgotten. Ending white supremacy won’t end misogyny, homophobia, or transphobia, fatphobia, colorism, and ableism. Black girls and women deserve so much more. That energy you all doled out in the beginning of this movement needs to start being reciprocated for them. Black trans/women’s activism has always been at the forefront of revolution. Keep fighting with/for them. . Bicycle Protest 6/8 .

Things will not change unless we stand together and make it change. Reposted from @onyourdoorstepmovement The media attention & solidarity is dying down; but we're still dying now. These are just SOME of the names of those who have lost their lives SINCE #georgefloyd at the hands of the police. Why have people gone quiet? Say. Their. Names. #robertfuller was lynched in Palmdale. #malcolmmarsch was lynched in Victorville (1 hour from Palmsdale). Tete/Otis Gulley was lynched in Portland. #rayshardbrooks was shot & killed by police after being found sleeping in his car. #jamelfloyd died unnecessarily in police custody. #seanmonterrosa was shot & killed by police. #dominiquefells remains were found in Philadelphia. #tonymcdade was shot & killed by police. #ericsalgado was shot & killed by police in addition to his pregnant girlfriend who was shot & severely injured. #toyinsalau went missing after a BLM protest & speaking out against her sexual assault, there are multiple unofficial reports claiming her body has now been found. Where has your outrage gone? Where has your support gone? #saytheirnames it's 2020 and we are being lynched & murdered in broad daylight. These are only SOME of the lives that have been taken since George Floyd. This does not even touch upon those taken before George Floyd. And those names don't even touch upon all the lives that were taken and went undocumented. This does not even touch upon the family & friends who have been affected by these losses. Say their names - because they were more than just names. #onyourdoorstep #BLM #blacklivesmatter - #regrann (at United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB17jfAJWMA/?igshid=hdorihtl4qi3

ALL Black lives matter. The murder of Black women and Black trans people are often quickly swept to the side and forgotten by the public, but we need to keep their memories alive and keep fighting for them too. ♥️ This stunning mural is by @spethszabo, @steichen_tattoo and @anipatella. #blacktranslivesmatter #dominiquefells #ninapop #tonymcdade #saytheirnames (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB1CjRxDML4/?igshid=1u7jwlv3mom1i

👏🏾BLACK👏🏿TRANS👏🏽LIVES👏🏾MATTER👏🏿 • Transphobia is alive and thriving right now, which is bullshit. Who are you to say who anyone can be or who they can love?! We are all human, we all bleed the same, & we all love the same! So this shouldn’t be an issue! #RiahMilton & #DominiqueFells were murdered this week as #45 revoked discrimination protections for #trans people!!! This is disgusting and we need to get out and VOTE local and state to revert what this monster is doing! So please register to get these monsters out! • • • #blacktransgender #blacktranslivesmatter #pride #pridemonth #vote45out #loveislove #transgender #vote #vota (at Dallas, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBa9xMvHH3D/?igshid=5ncrs2i6hkir

“We called off Pride. Now it’s Gay Wrath Month.” Some more beautiful scenes and signs from the #TransResistance Vigil and March in Boston this past Saturday. It is heartening to see so many pouring out across the nation to rallies, protests, and vigils to say that #BlackTransLivesMatter and to lift up the names of #RiahMilton, #DominiqueFells, #LayleenPolanco, #TonyMcDade, #MarshaPJohnson, and all the other black trans lives cut short and given no justice. #transresistancema #transresistanceboston #transresistancemarchboston #translivesmatter #transrights #transrightsarehumanrights #nojusticenopeace #blacklivesmatter #blm #lgbt #lgbtqia #lgbtpride #pridemonth #pride2020 #gaywrathmonth #resistance https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdLX-ngmbn/?igshid=s1f8w9lasgaw

Dominique Rem’mie Fells, 27, Found Murdered in Philadelphia “I don’t think there is any such thing as a safe city for Black trans women,” Philadelphia activist Deja Lynn Alverez told Insider. “When it comes to serving and protecting trans people, the conventional way of doing things and thinking about these things will not work. It’s time to invest in actual trans leadership.” For more, go to pghlesbian.com #DominiqueFells #Philadelphia #transgender #transwomen #BlackTransWomen #BlackLivesMatter #transwomenarewomen https://www.instagram.com/p/CBWRElijySe/?igshid=e3m2uqy61ydo
