Stop pretending that trans elderly don’t exist or are incredibly rare.

No, they did not all die from aids/violence/suicide. We have the data.

Most

trans people survived. Your trans elders are erased, excluded and isolated. Go find them and have tea with them.

A lot of this is fuelled by the zombie statistic about the mortality of Black trans women being age 30. Which I think got turned into”trans women are unlikely to live past 35” somehow.

But no. Not true. Zombie statistic. Pop statistic. Citation can’t be found.

For Years, Black Trans Women Have Been Told Their Life Expectancy Is 35 Years. That’s False.

YES! THANK YOU! We all gotta get serious about correcting this bullshit every time we see it because telling trans people that they probably don’t have a future does very real harm!
