The hardest part about the cholera outbreak caused by the UN workers is that Haitian people did try to warn them. They simply didn't listen. We hadn't had a case for 100 years, since 2010 Haiti hasn't been able to get rid of it.

A culture in which trans people don't feel safe harms deaf trans people. Audism and lack of language access can make that harm even worse if you're deaf.

Education around gender, sexuality, and sexual health in deaf schools can be even worse than in general, and lack of access to information can make deaf queer people more vulnerable.

I'm not here to pile on. Just want to share some thoughts on the harm that transphobia and homophobia cause Caribbean queer deaf people, and the way that harm is tied up with issues of language access. 🧵

My uncle Terrance was a wonderful person, sadly he passed away suddenly, and his family is now facing unexpected funeral costs. If you could consider donating or sharing the GoFundMe link, it would mean a lot during this difficult time. 🙏🏾 gofund.me/40bb4d4cd
