The life expectancy of black trans women is 35 years old. Muhlaysia Booker was 23. Confession: For the past couple of months I have been struggling with my mental health. I get constant reminders from the world that I don’t belong here and I’m not welcome. A lot of mornings I question why I wake up and what is the point of living in your truth when life is this painful. Being black and trans is hard. A lot better of cis people do not know how easy they have it. My heart goes out to Muhlaysia Booker. I know her struggle because she is me. Though I wonder how was she not protected even after the public harm and humiliation that she experienced. This world failed you sis. This is a tough one to take. Rest in Power Sis.
