When we choose whose deaths are deserving of our mourning, it appears as if we are only adopting certain attitudes (“trans lives matter”) in order to fit a specific aesthetic (“I am a trans ally.”) We become complicit in replicating the very systems of oppression that we claim to reject and we must hold ourselves accountable for these inconsistencies. We must advocate for justice for Leelah, but we mustn’t do so at the expense of trans women of color. We mustn’t erase the legacies of trans women of color. blackgirldangerous.org/2015/01/gets-human-death-leelah-alcorn-trans-legacies/
