Description
Non-Binary Awareness Week is observed the week of July 11 and raises awareness to the non-binary community, which includes anyone who doesn't fit the traditional narrative of male or female. CBS 8's Anna Laurel talked with someone at the intersection of being black, transgender and non-binary. Their message - to uplift black, LGBTQ+ identities, voices and experiences.
Court is a recent grad of the University of San Diego. This is a person who has faced their challenges head-on and who is ready to blaze a trail into the future. As a black trans person, Court knows the odds are stacked against him. Court says, “Black trans women are endangered. It is terrifying. Unfortunately in our Black community we have a lot of transphobia. We have a lot of homophobia. There needs to be more awareness and more recognition. I'm a transperson and I look like a black woman. I'm a transperson and I present feminine.”
