Hart has been very vocal about raising awareness for Black trans lives. In June, she shared an incredible list on Instagram of things people should not be doing in order to be a better ally to the community, writing:
"So if you are shouting 'Black trans lives matter' at a protest or tweeting it on the interwebs then I am assuming you are ensuring NONE of the following are happening in your world as they all contribute to Black trans folks dying and/or our overall existence being impacted:
⠀
1. Asking, 'so when did you know you were trans?'
2. Using someone's dead name.
3. Not using people's pronouns (with or without intent).
4. Not asking EVERYONE for pronouns.
5. Asking people about their genitals/any personal information about their bodies when they have shared they are trans.
6. Expressing that trans folks are not your type.
7. Saying that you can tell that someone is trans.
8. Assuming someone doesn't know which restroom they want to use and harassing them out of said restroom.
8a. Working in a building without gender neutral bathrooms and never addressing it.
9. Making transphobic jokes.
10. Biological essentialism: the belief that gender is binary due to binary biological conditioning.
11. Expectation that people reveal their gender identity.
11a. Gender reveal parties/announcements by family and/or physicians.
12. Assuming that trans people came into existence in the 80s.
13. White people moving into neighbourhoods that are gentrified.
14. Policing what people are wearing or not wearing.
15. Businesses only marketing to the gender binary.
15a. Stats or polls about anything only including the gender binary.
15b. Only acknowledging and getting activated around the trauma and murders of Black cis people.
16. Schools assuming the genders of staff and students and never ensuring that it's safer for GNC, trans, non binary, agender etc folks.
16a. Schools (and everyone) expecting trans and non binary staff and students to educate them on gender.
17. Showing up to a protest only when we are gone while never fighting for us otherwise.
18. White and NBPOC queers thinking their queerness will absolve their racism/transphobia.
19. Being an anti Black misogynoir asshole.
20. Taking the path of least resistance."
