Black Trans And Cis Women Deserve Equal Pay.

Black trans and cis women deserve equal pay.
Based on ACS Census data, Black women earn 63 cents for every $1 white men earn. Meanwhile …
34 percent of Black transgender people report a household income of less than $10,000 per year. This is more than twice the rate for transgender people of all races (15 percent), four times the general Black population rate (9 percent), and eight times the general U.S. population rate (4 percent).
And while working transgender men earn more after their transition, the average earnings of transgender women drops by nearly a third, according to a study published in the B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy.
This #BlackWomensEqualPayDay, remember that Black trans women are women, and all Black women deserve equal pay.

We’ve been working behind the scenes to launch a new brand for TransLash—one that honors our roots, reflects our growth, and leaves room for what’s to come. Over the next few months, you’ll notice fresh visuals and content as we bring our “glow up” to life across our digital channels. This summer, we’ll celebrate the culmination of that work: our brand new website! We’re building a new home for the journalism you love and trust, grounded in our deep commitment to the trans community.

We’re stepping into our own transition, and we want to share it with you. Join us!
