Hi Ann Lee,

I would suggest reading up on the disparities that cis and trans women of color face compared to white women. While it is true that whie women can fall victim to a host of societal challenges, currently:

• Black women are 3x more likely to die of maternal mortality
• Weathering among Black women causes a plethora of health issues from depression to anxiety, stroke, and childbirth complications
• Black women are currently at extremely high risk of contracting HIV

For more information on the disparities that are primarily affecting Black American women, I suggest reading Angela Y. Davis’ ‘Women, Race, & Class’ and this article, which further explains the disconnection white women have to non-white women:
