Black Queer Notables

Hi there, I came across your tumblr because I am one of the authors featured in your black queer women spread. I am the author formerly known as Xandria Phillips, I go by Xan now, and I have not identified as a woman for a while now. Could you please remove me from your list of black women?

So sorry! I just saw this. It’s been removed! I’ll take it off Twitter as well.
