TransGriot Note: Interesting article from one of the people I had the pleasure of meeting during OUT on the Hill last year, Anti-Intellect, concerning the ignorance bubbling up once again in the Black gossip blogosphere concerning this recent photo Chad Johnson took with girl like us Amiyah Scott The guest post at Funky Dineva is entitled ‘What Chad Johnson and Amiyah Scott Can Teach Us About Respecting Transgender Women’. It’s a call for the Black community to chill with the ignorance and disrespect aimed at trans women and start understanding and respecting the ones in their midst. I agree. And it needed to happen like yesterday. I also got a little love in the post, too. And yeah, ignorance alert in the comment threads. Here’s a taste of it: I look forward to the day when a straight man taking a picture with a trans woman is not an issue.
