RuPaul's Drag Race star Jasmine Kennedie has revealed a disturbing incident of being harassed and followed home by a Trump supporter in the New York subway. During her Instagram video, she recounted the event where she was provoked and filmed, noting that the man attempted to physically grab her phone. Kennedie's experience serves as a stark reminder of the challenges trans individuals face, especially in the current political climate. She emphasizes pride in her identity and encourages followers to remain safe and authentic despite the dangers of hate.
"Last night on the way home from work I was harassed and followed by a man all because I am a trans woman... In Trump's America, trans women are being targeted with hate and they are trying to stoke fear into us."
"I will never allow someone to make me coward, make me feel insignificant. I am PROUD OF WHO I AM!! Nothing will stop me from living my life. TRANS LIVES MATTER!!!"
"Once I started filming, the man backed off and 'cowered', showing that even in hostility, standing up can empower you."
