Alex expressed her optimism for the future of the business in her acceptance speech, calling her victory a “big step in the right direction,” according to Bored Panda.
She stated: “I’m the first trans woman to win this award,” and thanked the pioneers, saying: “But I can’t accept this award without thanking those.
Who came before me, specifically the Black trans women who really fought for the space I’m in today — Domonique Jackson, Connie Fleming.
Aaron Rose Phillips and countless more who fought for the space that allowed me to flourish today.” “Now, more than ever.
It’s an important conversation that should be had about how to truly support and uplift one another within this industry, especially those who have been made to feel insignificant,”
Alex said as she concluded her address, calling for unity and advancement in the field. As she put it, “Because change is more than possible.
It’s needed.” “What difference does it make to have an award?” A remark was made by a reader.
