Trans/nonbinary (TNB) people of color experience a unique set of social situations based on the intersections of racism, anti-Blackness, and cissexism. These conditions produce specific challenges, barriers and resiliencies for TNB people of color. Based on published work and using an intersectional framework, this webinar describes scholarship on the lived experiences of TNB people of color resisting and deconstructing the TNB monolith created by research.
The webinar reviews the current gaps in service provision systemically, along with recommendations for engaging in affirmative programs and interactions with TNB people of color, including TNB staff of color. It includes a call for human service organizations and staff to use their resources and positionalities to promote not only the survival of these communities, but also their thriving in an unjust, transphobic and racist society.
