“The experiences of trans people of colour occur at the interactions of racism and transphobia and result in unique forms of oppression.'
February hits and the cold is in my bones. We are going to a poetry night and are meeting for food before. Freddy messages me at work: “What time will you get to mine? Will we have time to cuddle before we go out? I’m tired and sad today.”
Bellies full, we rush out of the door. We always seem to be running a little late, always too full of the previous activity to let go in time. We make it to a small room upstairs in a gloomy building. We creep in at the back and listen to a night of beautiful words. At the end we are standing and hugging close and a priest wanders over and leans in to us. “God fucking loves you,” she says.
It isn’t quite hot enough to burn our mouths even as we gulp it down too fast. We scribble ideas in silence, and just before our pens begin to slow the server tells us they are closing soon. As we turn to leave, Freddy approaches the counter and asks about the pastries going to waste. I swallow the surprise in my mouth as they hand them over for free. We walk out with one each and I brush almond crumbs from my mouth as we walk back to the station, grinning with the delight of a surprise gift.
