#BuyTrans y'all! Boycotting bigots may hurt them financially, but it doesn't directly uplift or empower (including economic empowerment!) trans folx. Or POCs. Or women and femmes. Or disabled and neurodivergent folx.
#BuyTrans: support #transowned businesses! And #QTPOC entrepreneurs! And disabled and neurodivergent trans visionaries! PLEASE USE THESE -- let's launch an intersectional trans economic empowerment movement! You can also view here: www.canva.com/design/DAGfk... #transpreneurs #transpreneur #buyblack
With a focus on advancing trans economic empowerment and self-determination in the area, and preserving trans culture, history, and kinship in and through trans entrepreneurship, a trans biz alliance would necessarily be anti-capitalist, anti-racist, feminist, neuro-accessible, and trauma-informed.
Locally, I've planned a #RVA specific interest meeting on Wednesday, 4/2/25 at 6pm ET at the trans-affirming vegan comfort food restaurant in Henrico, VA: rvatranspreneurs.eventbrite.com
To start, I'm calling on others to join me to kiki and then discuss launching a #TransEntrepreneurs Alliance on Friday, 3/28/25 at 2pm ET/11AM PT on Zoom: transpreneurs.eventbrite.com #transpreneurs #transowned
While Amerikkka's cissexist genocidal project is in overdrive, major US social institutions & businesses settle into predictable cowardice, and cis- & white-dominated #LGBTQ orgs. keep neglecting #trans & #QTPOC folx, let's get serious about an intersectional #t4t economic empowerment movement.
Can you imagine a Trans Wall Street? A year-round commitment to #BuyTrans, supporting trans entrepreneurs? Especially those of us who are of color, disabled, and/or neurodivergent? Making coin while uplifting trans communities, not sacrificing your values just to survive under (racial) capitalism?
Dear trans musicians:
Your voice matters.
Your art matters.
Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
The world NEEDS your music, now more than ever 🎶

Congrats, Tess! #transpreneurs #transowned
More of this please!
Fwiw: I'm a disabled trans musician, composer, and producer in the Midwest and I've spent the last year converting an outbuilding into a mid-sized studio.
I have steeply discounted rates for other queer and marginalized creators (and am happy to do skill swaps if $ is tight!)
#BuyTrans! Also, anyone want to help me launch a Trans Entrepreneurs Alliance? transpreneurs.eventbrite.com
Calling #RVA trans entrepreneurs and business leaders, join me on Wednesday, April 2nd at 6pm at Devil's Lettuce to kiki over vegan comfort food and conspire to form an RVA Trans Entrepreneurs Alliance. RSVP: rvatranspreneurs.eventbrite.com. Flyer: bit.ly/4icJsRu. #transowned #transpreneur #LGBTQ
On boycotts: #BuyBlack #BuyTrans directly! While protesting anti-DEI stores (Target), anti-LGBTQ (Chik-fil-a), & Trump supporters (Apple CEO Tim Cook), let’s strengthen Black, trans, WOC, + QTPOC economic empowerment. (Costco’s CEO is a white cis het man, y’all. As is leader of anti-Amazon boycott.)
#BuyTrans: Support trans-owned businesses! Hire and uplift trans, non-binary, intersex, and two-spirit entrepreneurs! Boycotting Amazon, Nestle, Target, Chik-fil-a, Walmart, Tim Cook/Apple, Mark Zuckerberg/Facebook/Meta are all forms of trickle-down justice that never reach us on the bottom.
Calling #TransEntrepreneurs & business leaders! Let's launch a Trans Entrepreneurs Alliance to uplift trans visionaries + advance collective trans economic empowerment. Join me on Friday, March 28 @ 11am PT/2pm ET for a fun networking kiki followed by an interest mtg. transpreneurs.eventbrite.com
Calling #RVA trans entrepreneurs & biz leaders, I want to launch a Trans Entrepreneurs Alliance to uplift trans visionaries & advance collective trans economic empowerment in Richmond, Virginia.
