Dominique ‘Rem-Mie’ Fells

Monika Diamond

 

Black trans matter lives

 

Some people say

Black lives matter

Includes black trans people

The “all lives matter”

Of the black community

They say gender and sex are the same

That we create division where there should be unity

Transphobia over love

Leaving those most vulnerable to fend for themselves

 

Black trans lives matter

 

But we will not forget our brothers and sisters

Our non-binary family

Their lives will not be taken in vain

They receive hate from both sides

The black community

And the gay community

 

Black trans lives matter
