Continuation of Today's Feminism Outside the Classroom Discussion

Here are the questions that were in the slides:

• How do these stereotypes and the attempts to do away with them reverberate today?
• Who chooses how black trans women are portrayed and where they are portrayed in the media?
• Who is deemed ‘acceptable’ as a spokeswoman?
• Who has access to speaking on black trans women narratives?
• How does intersectionality shape the black transgendered woman’s perception/interaction with the police?
• How can we apply what we have learned about stereotypes and historical expectations for black women’s sexuality, both in terms of sexual preference and the means in which they express themselves sexually, to the current positioning and views of black transgender women?
• Who then, is the ideal listener for the black transgender community’s voice?
• How can we make ourselves better listeners to hear what is already being said?
• It is crucial to notice who is listened to and who is not in the public sector.
• Who is portrayed in the media?
• Whose rights in addition to voices are silenced?
• How can our discussions of voice, and the privilege and power that correspond with it, help us to understand what is at stake for black transgender women in being underrepresented in politics and society?
