Interrupt art links for awesome post on supporting trans women by performer Sunny Drake. I’ve only been introduced to Amanda - who the post is inspired by - a couple of times. She’s pretty well known here though, as an organizer who gets called on to represent for trans women all the time and gives a lot of support to local queers herself. Read!

Vixen Noir at Laundromat (by dirtyqueermag)
