The only POC board member of TransOhio is a black trans woman who believes other black trans people don’t want or need trans groups like TransOhio because (in her EXACT words) “they’re either too busy trying to get drugs or make a living prostituting.”
This statement was in response to another black trans woman coming onto the Cincinnati trans community Facebook page and expressing concerns over the lack of inclusivity that she’d experienced in the past with trans social/support groups. Said woman was first SWARMED by racist white board members, and then dismissed by the above mentioned black board member for being autistic. When I attempted to lend my voice in support, she said that I wasn’t really trans because I’m nonbinary, that nonbinary is against “the true trans agenda,” that I live my life as a woman because people misgender me with feminine pronouns against my wishes, and then said I was “triggered” when her two hours of horrible, prejudice shit had me broken down in tears.
Trans community of Cincinnati: Beware TransOhio, Crosspoint, and Heartland Trans Wellness (the latter two took part in the attack against offering more racial inclusivity).
