This piece dives into the lived experiences of trans elders of color, offering a powerful look at their decades-long fight for dignity and rights. While the article acknowledges the renewed threats under a potential second Trump term, it centers on resilience—sharing wisdom from those who’ve navigated oppression for generations and the advice they have for younger activists.

Editor’s Note: It’s easy to frame trans struggles solely through the lens of current political battles, but this story reminds us that the fight didn’t start yesterday. By amplifying voices of trans elders—especially people of color, who face layered discrimination—it connects today’s activism to a deeper legacy of resistance. That’s crucial context for anyone who thinks these issues are just "trending" or new.
