[our-queer-experience]

In 2010, after waiting for other and younger people to form some sort of intersection of people of color and trans people, I formed the Trans People of Color Coalition. I just kept seeing the lack of intersectionality. As I traveled and did my trans work, I would hear from every pocket, whether it was rural or whether it was metropolitan: “I don't feel anybody's doing any work for me. I feel isolated.” And I heard that from every trans person of color. So we formed. The Time magazine cover gets us visibility [Editor's note: In May 2014, Time magazine ran a cover article under the headline "The Transgender Tipping Point: America's next civil rights frontier"], but we still have to change hearts and minds and get those rights. A magazine cover is not a piece of legislation. It's not a court case. We need social change, not just visibility. Black Americans have been visible forever. It takes more than that.

Kylar Broadus: My Selection for Transgender Person of 2014

In 2012 Kylar made history by becoming the first openly transgender person to testify before the U.S. Senate. He was speaking in favor of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which would prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. His truthful speech touched me then, and he continues to fight for transgender people now.

Kylar Broadus founded the Trans People of Color Coalition, and is a #CoolTrans man who inspires us!
