RIGHT NOW: brilliant queer & trans leaders, advocates and legislators call for New York State to repeal the #WalkingWhileTrans ban THIS SESSION. “We are being profiled and attacked by the NYPD. We just want to live, be free, and be safe.” -

                        “I was approached by an undercover vice officer, who threatened to arrest me for the charge if I didn’t give him oral sex. I did, because I had no choice.” @VOCALNewYork leader TS Candii explains why we must repeal the #WalkingWhileTrans ban this session! @bradhoylman @AmyPaulin








“Loitering for the purposes of prostitution” laws allow police to profile, harass, & arrest trans communities, Black & POC femmes for “wearing a skirt” “waving at a car,” simply EXISTING in public space. Decriminalizing #WalkingWhileTrans is for all of our safety #SheSafeWeSafe


Queens district attorney Tiffany Cabán here to speak against transphobic acts of hate. #WalkingWhileTrans should never be met with violence





“I want to be clear, the only reason repeal 50-A, #LessIsMoreNY, #HALTsolitary, ending the school to prison pipeline, #MarijuanaJustice, #WalkingWhileTrans Ban .. hasn’t passed yet .. is because we have a crisis of courage.” @Kassandra_Fred




You do not have to be loitering for prostitution 
or be a sexworker. 50-A allows the New York
Police Department to profile and arrest any 
transwoman of color. #WalkingWhileTrans
