"Largely, a lot of people are, even in these times, experiencing direct discrimination because they are black and trans, in employment and in housing," he said."Those who are in a situation where they may find it more difficult to find another place are being pretty much refused housing because they are black and trans, as well as the same scenario for employment.
He expects the community to become even more vulnerable as states begin to reopen, including Texas, where Brown lives.
