Racism in trans spaces

  1. I am a white person, so take this with a grain of salt

  2. I am nonbinary so my experiences may differ from others

I've been participating in trans spaces, both online and irl for a decade at this point, and while it's always been an issue, these past few years have seemed especially bad.

It seems as tho alot of trans spaces default to white beauty/ presentation standards, and there just isn't very good representation for trans people of color in alot of these spaces. There just arnt alot of black and brown trans people in these spaces, and the ones that are here have often talked about feeling excluded/ pushed out of the community. In particular, there was an issue in the ftm sub a few years ago that resulted in alot of people feeling unsafe and leaving.

I'm bringing this up because I want to be part of a community that is genuinely for ALL trans people. I want to know what I, as a white person, can do to make others feel safe here.

If this is out of line for me to be asking about pls let me know. I'm from pretty deep south so my experiences with anti-racism is limited.

New -> old

I really didn't like how the old one looked. It's been about 7 months since then.does the new James look better/ notably different?
