Genuine article speaking of the problems of the #Tenderloin neighborhood of #SanFrancisco. It hurts seeing the neighborhood in such a state, knowing the historical significance the Tenderloin has to the trans and queer rights movement (look up Compton’s Cafe for those unaware). But this is nothing new … transgender and other non conforming minorities are always find their way to some of the worst neighborhoods as a means of survival in a world that so often is against us.
On this #TDoV weekend, I simply wish to state we deserve better. The first transgender cultural district in the world deserves to be a place of safety, love and community. Our history should not be hidden in the shadows.
