  • This Black trans theater head knows art is key to resistance. She refuses to cower to Donald Trump.

    By Irene Monroe, Giselle Byrd| LGBTQ Nation Verified Transgender rights have been placed on the chopping block by the second Trump administration. Pushback, however, has been equally fierce across the country as activists combat Donald Trump’s attempt to erase our trans and nonbinary communities from the social fabric of American life. For this year’s Women’s History Month, I’d like to honor two Black trans women: Rita Hester and Giselle Kristina Byrd. I honor Hester for her life and legacy and Byrd for her historic appointment.
