In the midst of the civil uprising of Black Lives Matter, on June 1, 2020, a Black trans woman was attacked in Minneapolis, MN. BUST has chosen to not embed or share the video as we do not wish to provoke pain or trauma, but it is widely available.
In a post on her Facebook, she announced she needed time “to process everything that’s going on.” She wrote, “Thanks to everyone reaching out making sure I’m OK, Imma talk real soon.” She has also since changed her CashApp handle from $NajaBabiie to $IyannaDio. Sadly, this incident is not an outlier. Just last month, Nina Pop, a Black trans woman, was stabbed to death in rural Missouri. In 2019, Black trans women were murdered by Black cis men in numbers so high that the American Medical Association declared the overall crisis to be an epidemic. Also, nine out of ten trans women who are murdered in the U.S. are Black, and the country has the third-highest recorded killings of trans women on the planet.
According to Trans Equality, “One in five transgender people in the United States has been discriminated when seeking a home, and more than one in ten have been evicted from their homes, because of their gender identity.” More than one in four transgender people have lost a job due to bias, and more than three-fourths have experienced some form of workplace discrimination.
