Hi I saw @trvisXX photoshopped the beautiful Amanda Lepore out of his new album artwork via @aquariaofficial well, in the face of this transphobia I'm here to share a piece I shot and edited for Mic about the gem herself https://t.co/2BDLteohlO xo
I’m so sorry but I’m going to need 24 hours to just be angry and grieve. I don’t want pep talks, I don’t want hollow messages of positivity, fuck. that. Not when Black women have been holding us all down and yall still spit in our faces. Respectfully, get someone else to do it.
Crazy thing is. Black women will still remain optimistic and overqualified. Will still be on the frontlines. Will still be the catalysts for change and legislation and movement that serves people who, quite literally, hate our Black asses. Anyways.
It is jarring af to be reminded how much your country hates you on such a regular basis.
Like to be Black, to be queer, to be trans, to be a woman… you know there are far too many people who hate you more than they love themselves.
Not only this is biphobic, it also comes from a place of privilege. Most of us can't be open about our bisexuality and even if we are open about it, we don't owe you shit. It's very telling how she singled out bisexuals in this. This is biphobia masquerading as queer liberation
