I am reaching out to Black trans, intersex, and people with a societally-deemed "unconventional" relationship to gender!
I am currently working on a future lesson involving gender and sexuality. But for certain things, I am not comfortable speaking for a community when I think it would be better to let them speak for themselves. I too am still learning (so I ask for grace).
What I want to do is either have a post to link to the lesson with your opinions in the tags/notes, and a summarized section of bullet points to show the range of perspectives on what I'm about to ask you. You don't have to answer all of them (or any if you don't want, it's volunteering). You can even send asks that if you don't want to be published, I will not publish. Succinctness will help me read everyone's responses, I will admit 😅
My questions:
1. What's ONE thing you wish nonblack people would understand the most about your experience?
2. How do you think you see or experience the world and media in comparison to white or nonblack people with a shared gender identity?
3. What's a story you'd like to see of yourself in media? Are there current examples?
