African-American Transman To Do Thesis Project on AA Transmen Experiences With RacismBrandin Dear is currently pursuing a Master's Degree at Smith College School for Social Work. For his thesis he has decided to do a project focusing on the stories of African American transmen and their experience with racism in the U.S.

"As a Black transman I am excited to pursue this topic," said Brandin. "I think it is crucial for our experiences to be heard in a respectful and consistent way, leading to a better understanding of our community for ourselves and for others. I'm contacting you because I hope you will want to participate in this project and lend your voice as representation of our community."

If you are an African American transman 18+, living and passing full time as male in all or most aspects of your life, regardless of medical intervention and want to participate, please contact him at bdear@email.smith.edu for more information.
