From Black Transmen Inc., Website- Motto: "Become The Change You Want To See In The World" Gender, racial, ethnic, sexual, religion, and class identities are all socially constructed, in that it only reflect the meanings society gives it. It is defined by culture, a construction that culture is free to change when it desires. This is the very thing that divides us. The meanings that society enforces with these identities are divisive, destructive and counterproductive. "Become the change you want to see in the world"
