Ts Madison spoke to CNN about how simply being a visible trans person is a form of activism. “We’re living in a climate right now where the erasure of trans people… seems as if it’s been priority number one in this administration,” she said. And Billy Porter told MS NOW that Trump's attacks on cultural institutions threaten the work of queer and Black artists, noting, \"... I crashed through glass ceilings that were concrete.
