Interview with Sandy James
Sandy James is a Black trans man raised in England. At the time of this interview, James was working as a researcher, a student and a lawyer based out of Maryland. In this oral history, James speaks at length about immigrating to the United States, racism and anti-blackness in the UK versus the US, helping produce the transgender survey for the National Center for Transgender Equality, and his family members. He also touches upon being a Black man in America, encounters with law enforcement, soccer, drumming, and the relationship between language and identity.
