Anti-transphobia activists rally in Washington, D.C.

A rally and march against transphobia were held in Washington, D.C.. The events were organized to coincide with the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia.

"Trans people of color are disproportionately impacted by structural oppression," said Lourdes Ashley Hunter of the Trans Women of Color Collective, who spoke out about treatment of trans people. "We are denied access to housing, health care. We are denied access to employment opportunities."
