This Brave Conversation brings awareness to the influence 而且 strides made by 黑色的, 棕色（的）, 以及变性人争取”+权利的斗争. 乐博体育app下载, there have been a lot of anti-同性恋 而且 anti-trans conversation 而且 legislation (i.e. Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill 而且 recent Texas legislation), which gives us the opportunity to discuss some of the 交集 issues faced by this community.

什么是交叉性?

的概念 交集 “describes the ways in which systems of inequality based on gender, 比赛, 种族, 性取向, 性别认同, 残疾, class 而且 other forms of discrimination ‘intersect’ to create unique dynamics 而且 effects.” These intersections 而且 how they intertwine are part of ones 身份.

这个词 ”+ 代表女同性恋, 同性恋, 双性恋, 变性人, 酷儿社区, 并且包括非二进制, 无性, 双性人. BIPOC 代表黑人、土著和有色人种. As 42%—nearly half—of all ”+ individuals in the United States are people of color, 很多人在这个种族的十字路口, 性, 而且 gender are subject to compounded systems of discrimination.

Struggles 而且 influence of 黑色的, 棕色（的）, 而且 Trans individuals in the fight for ”+ rights

In underst而且ing the history of the ”+ community 而且 their fight for rights, 突出布莱克的影响很重要, 棕色（的）, 和跨性别者, as they still struggle to have their voices heard 而且 acknowledged.

One of the biggest events in ”+ history are the Stonewall Riots, which acted as a catalyst for the 同性恋 rights movement in the US. 骚乱开始于6月28日, 1969, 在纽约警局突袭石墙旅馆后, just one of the many raids the NYPD completed in which they targeted specific or highly ”+ meeting places (as public displays of homosexual acts was considered illegal.)在对石墙旅馆的突袭中, 警察拖, 击败, 而且 violated many of the patrons; this caused an uproar, 而且 patrons 而且 ”+ members began to riot for six days in the fight against police brutality.

Two of the most influential figures involved in the Stonewall Riots were 玛莎P. 约翰逊 而且 西尔维娅里维拉. Eyewitnesses of the riots identify Marsha as one of the first individuals to fight back 而且 ‘throw the first brick’ (although this was never historically accurate given the chaos of the riots.) Marsha 而且 Sylvia both began 而且 continued their work as activists, starting the 街头异装癖行动革命者(STAR). These women fought for rights for all ”+ individuals despite facing discrimination due to 比赛, 种族, 以及性别认同.

The key in highlighting such influential women is that their fight was not only against a heteronormative society, but also racism 而且 transphobia within their own communities as well.

Other influential 黑色的, 棕色（的）, 而且/or Transgender individuals fighting for ”+ rights include:

• 拜亚特。 (1912-1987)他是一名公开的同性恋黑人顾问. 小灵魂.他是1963年华盛顿大游行的主要组织者 (贝亚德的搭档讲述了他的故事，请看下面的视频)

• 布兰登Teena (1972-1993), a young trans man who was murdered in Nebraska when his friends learned his biological sex
• 查兹波诺 (1972年至今), an trans actor 而且 Cher 而且 Sonny Bono’s only child who transitioned to male at 41

”+群体面临哪些问题?

• 歧视: 而无家可归者的比例, 失业, 而且 hate crimes for Transgender individuals are quite high in comparison for their cisgendered counterparts, these discrimination rates are extremely higher for 黑色的 变性人 individuals.
• 仇恨犯罪: 随着针对”+群体的立法越来越多, 许多其他组织一直在以个人为目标, 导致仇恨犯罪激增. 针对”+有色人种, 这个比率翻倍, as this 交集 makes them more vulnerable to hate crimes 而且 police brutality. This is not a uncommon phenomenon with events such as the attempted 布鲁克林夜总会纵火案 奥兰多(2022) Pulse夜总会大规模枪击案 (2016)，并怀疑目标 巴尔的摩房屋火灾 (2022)发生在近年来.
• 工作问题: Transgender individuals face many issues in the workplace including unsafe workplace environments 而且 unaccepting attitudes 而且 beliefs from coworkers. 这些人还面临着更高的拒聘率, 侵犯隐私, 骚扰, 甚至还有工作中的身体暴力和性暴力, 使维持稳定的乐博体育app下载在精神上变得困难, 在情感上, 和身体上. 事实上, 20% of 黑色的 变性人 individuals report experiencing 失业—twice the rate among all 黑色的 people in the United States.
