As the title suggests, everything on this blog concerns violence against trans women.
The Trans Women's Anti-Violence Project is a trans feminist project addressing issues of systematic, institutional and interpersonal violence and oppression experienced by trans women (those who were coercively assigned male at birth and identify or are identified as women/female) across multiple identities (e.g., race, class, dis/ability, citizen-status, nationality, sexuality, age, HIV status, and form, status, or age of transition, etc.)
Ida Hammer is a writer and social justice communicator. She organizes the Trans Women's Anti-Violence Project. She presents workshops and trainings on cis privilege and being a trans ally. She's also involved in organizing against sexualized violence. She's a proud dyke-identified trans woman and an organizer of the New York City Dyke March.
Submissions should be related to information regarding:
• violence against trans women, or

Please break things down to the particular demographic of trans women being discussed. Avoid generalizing violence against a specific group of trans women to include all trans women.
Use the appropriate name and pronoun. If quoting another sources that misidentifies a trans woman, please note that the woman was misidentified.
Anything the dismisses or promotes violence against trans women or anyone else will not be posted.
