The ultimate bra guide for plus-size women

The ultimate bra guide for plus-size women (Photo: Cacique)

When you have large breasts and are plus-sized, it is nearly impossible to find a supportive, comfortable bra. Shopping for said “miracle bra” that actually fits correctly and is semi-cute can be flat out exhausting, so it is crucial to know your actual bra size prior to your search.

According to a study done by inclusive lingerie brand Third Love, only 20 percent of women are wearing the correct cup size, and most go through their whole adult lives wearing the wrong size bra. I myself have been guilty of wearing undergarments that dig into my shoulders and don't fully support me until I finally measured myself and began buying the correct size. Not all brands fit the same, which is why it is extremely important to know your measurements so you can compare with a brand’s own sizing guide.

Insider Sizing Tips

Though there is no real foolproof bra calculator, I have provided a simple outline and rule of thumb, below, to help you determine your correct bra size at home.

All you need is a soft measuring tape and two measurements: the band size, which can be found around your back and under your bust, and the cup measurement, which can be found by measuring around your back and over your nipples. After you have these two numbers you will subtract your band size from your cup size and that difference will correspond to you specific letter cup.

For example, my band size is 44 inches and my cup size is 51 inches, which means 51- 44 = 6, which equals a DDD, according to the below guide.

Easy Cup Size Measure Guide:

1''= A

2''= B

3''= C

4''= D

5''= DD

6''= DDD & F

7''= G

8''= H

9''= I

10''= J

11''= K

Once you have measured your perfect size, it’s time to make sure that your bra is fitting the way it is meant to be worn.

The Band

Most people are surprised to learn that the band is the main support feature to your whole bra and that, when your band fits as it’s intended, then you will actually get the large bust support you need. A quick test to determine if your band fits or not is this: If you cannot fit a finger between the bra band and your skin, it’s too tight. And if there are gaps at the bottom of the cup, then it’s too loose and the bra will inevitably ride up.

Expert Tip: When you buy a new bra, clip it to the loosest row of hooks so that when the bra stretches from washing and wear, you can size down.

Center Gore

The center gore is the little area between the breast cups and the skin. This area of the bra should remain tighter to the skin to keep your breast from slipping out the bottom. If you can stick a finger between the center gore that means that it is too loose and will not provide the necessary support.

Cups

When appraising whether or not your cup size is correct, the cups should appear full and smooth. Often when they are too large there will be empty spots and have pockets in the fit. If the cup size is too small you will notice spillage under your arms or over the top and you need to size up accordingly. Next, you need to check if the fit of the underwire stays flat against your skin and doesn’t pinch or poke.

Straps

A bra with adjustable straps that you can loosen and tighten on demand, depending on the amount of wear, is key. Your bra straps should fit comfortably on your shoulder without digging and pinching or creating a tight red imprint when you take it off. The straps should also stay in place and not slip off your shoulders when you wear them, which typically indicates the bra is too large or the bra has lost its elasticity and it’s time to get a new one.

Now that you have the lowdown on how to shop for the perfect bra, keep scrolling to shop some of my favorite plus-size bras made especially to support large busts!

Trophy hunter says she's 'proud to hunt' in wake controversy over viral giraffe photo

Tess Talley is speaking out for the first time after this photo of her beside a rare giraffe — which she killed — went viral. (Photo: Twitter/AfricaDigest)

The American hunter who drew lots of criticism for a photo of her posing with the body of a giraffe that she killed is speaking out for the first time about how she is “proud to hunt.”

Tess Talley is the trophy hunter who was at the center of controversy in June 2018 when the photo of her alongside her kill surfaced on a Twitter account called AfricaDigest. In the tweet, Talley was called a “white American savage” for shooting a rare black giraffe during a hunting trip in South Africa. Now, after facing widespread condemnation, the hunter told CBS This Morning that she’s still hunting.

NEW: Trophy hunter Tess Talley says she is "proud to hunt" and is "proud of that giraffe.” https://t.co/thQSSkh8jU pic.twitter.com/wvUss8QoUQ

— CBS This Morning (@CBSThisMorning) June 7, 2019

“It’s a hobby, it’s something that I love to do,” Talley said in the interview on Friday. “I am proud to hunt and I am proud of that giraffe.”

Although she enjoys hunting and even looks gleeful in the picture alongside her kill, Talley went on to say that the particular hunt was a “conservation hunt.”

“We are preserving the wildlife,” Talley said. “We are managing herds, we’re managing numbers of wildlife.”

Still, many people don’t believe that to be true, especially after Talley shared with CBS that she now has a gun case and multiple pillows decorated with the hide of the giraffe, whose meat she said was “delicious.”

Tess Talley bragged to the press that she was proud of killing the giraffe, even saying that she used the animal’s remains to create decorative pillows and a gun case.https://t.co/fs5au9l1Sf

— Dan Broadbent 🚀 (@aSciEnthusiast) June 7, 2019

It’s not a “harvest” #TessTalley The giraffe had a life, and it had value to our Earth. You exist to take life for your “hobby” feeding your shallow hubris. Now this creature’s hide is your gun case, and PILLOWS...which “everybody loves!” Could you be more heartless? pic.twitter.com/lUR0hx7DX2

— 🔥 𝕍𝕖𝕤𝕦𝕧𝕚𝕦𝕤 🔥 (@PentUpPower) June 7, 2019

Native Americans used to hunt animals like buffalo and used every bit of them, for food, clothing, and more. They considered the animals sacred. #TessTalley proud of killing a harmless giraffe, having no need to hunt, no use for the rest of the animal? Deplorable. 🙄#hunting https://t.co/kpncE79eKm

— Darth Continent (@DarthContinent) June 7, 2019

Tess “Cruella de Vil” Talley is proud to shoot a defenseless animal that is on the verge of becoming endangered. What a psychopath. https://t.co/2sdJgj7Sct

— Justin McCarthy 🌹🌅 (@jaymac1893) June 7, 2019

That #TessTalley finds joy in killing any animal is disgusting, but the fact that the @IUCN just issued an alarming report about the rapid rate of decline in the giraffe population, which could push the species to the edge of extinction is horrifying.

— Adam (@AdamInChicago) June 7, 2019

When asked to further explain her conservation argument, Talley ultimately said, “It's tough. It's a science. It's really hard. I'm not a conservationist, I'm a hunter.”

Hurry! These high-quality cast iron skillets and pans are up to 47 percent off today

You'd be surprised at how many classic dishes can be made in a cast iron skillet. (Photo: Getty Images)

There’s a point in nearly every adult’s life when it’s time to purchase a cast iron skillet. This pivotal moment usually is inspired by some cooking fiasco, a desire to replicate a favorite dish from a local restaurant, or perhaps after watching 30 hours of Food Network over one weekend.

Regardless of when or how this decision is made, it’s quickly is met with one tough realization: Cooking skillets are expensive.

To make matters worse, there are so many different types and an endless list of brands to choose from. Luckily, the high-quality line of cast iron skillets, pans and accessories, Cuisinel, is on sale today on Amazon — with products up to 47 percent off.

Check out our favorite innovative and affordable Cuisinel products below.

The editors at Yahoo Lifestyle are committed to finding you the best products at the best prices. At times, we may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page.

Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet (10-Inch) and Glass Lid

This pre-seasoned, 10-inch skillet is 30 percent off (Photo: Amazon).

The cast iron used to create Cuisinel products like this 10-inch skillet “can outlast years of regular cooking and washing,” according to the product description.

Included in this bundle is a heat-resistant silicone handle holder, as well as a glass lid — perfect for circulating heat when cooking things like pancakes or egg dishes in the oven.

Buy it: Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet (10-Inch) W/Glass Lid, $28 (Originally $40), Amazon.com

Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Pizza and Baking Pan

It's so tricky to perfectly season a cast iron skillet on your own. This product takes the stress away by coming pre-seasoned and ready to use. (Photo: Amazon)

The appeal of using a cast iron pan or skillet comes from how well the products hold flavor. But getting the cookware seasoned on your own can be tricky — and time consuming.

Cuisinel’s pre-seasoned items take that stress away.

“The pre-seasoning works great and the pizzas come out so well with no problem sticking to the pan and with a crisp crust,” one shopper wrote.

Shop it: Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Pizza and Baking Pan, $21 (Originally $40), Amazon.com

Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet 3-Piece Chef Set

The pre-seasoned set of 3 skillets is 45 percent off today. (Photo: Amazon)

5-Tier Heavy Duty Pan Organizer

The 5-Tier Heavy Duty Pan Organizer is 30 percent off. (Photo: Amazon)

When you invest in a proper cast iron skillet, there’s always the question of where it should go. The long handle and thick base can make it difficult to store with the rest of your pans and skillets, so Cuisinel solved that problem by creating this custom five-tier rack that perfectly holds its products of any size.

Shop it: 5-Tier Heavy Duty Pan Organizer, $21 (Originally $30), Amazon.com

Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet and Double Dutch Oven Set

The pre-seasoned cast iron skillet and double dutch oven set is the 2-in-1 set perfect for anyone's first cast iron purchase. (Photo: Amazon)

Student barred from walking at graduation after accusing administrators of ignoring sexual assault, bullying at school

Charles Chandler is barred from walking in graduation after accusing the administration of ignoring sexual assault and bullying at school. (Photo: Instagram)

A high school senior in Vancouver, Wash. will no longer be walking in his graduation on Saturday, after accusing the administration of ignoring bullying and sexual assault allegedly taking place at school.

Charles Chandler was giving a speech in front of students and families of Heritage High School during a ceremony on Wednesday when he went off script and made some controversial comments against the administration.

youtube

“And to you, underclassmen,” Chandler is heard saying toward the end of his speech, “who have to endure all the things the school throw at you for two to three more years. A school where the administration closes their eyes to everything that happens in the school. Their school. The sexual assault, the bullying, the depression, the outcasts. And they do nothing to fix it.”

Through surprised reactions heard throughout the crowd, Chandler continued to say that if the school does take notice of these incidents, “they take the side of the accused and not the victim,” before the audience ultimately erupted in cheers.

Despite the seemingly audible agreement of his peers, Heritage High School Principal Derek Garrison says that Chandler’s comments weren’t truthful.

“His comments were full of inaccuracies, inflammatory statements and hurtful accusations,” the principal’s letter, obtained by Yahoo Lifestyle, reads. “Administrators called the student in to explain why spreading rumors and inaccurate information was extremely problematic.”

Chandler didn’t immediately respond to Yahoo Lifestyle’s request for comment. However, he maintained that the school hadn’t addressed people’s complaints about sexual assault and bullying when he spoke with Portland outlet KATU.

“I've been going to this school for four years, and I've seen these problems, and I've seen nothing done about them,” he said. “I felt like it was a great place to bring it to light.”

The principal’s letter also stated that administrators offered Chandler the opportunity to participate in a “restorative solution,” or face disciplinary action that included not walking at graduation. She said that the student chose the latter.

Now students are rallying around Chandler and speaking out on social media. Many have expressed their support for him with the hashtag #LetCharlesWalk.

A post shared by mothman (@ferretmouths) on Jun 5, 2019 at 9:40pm PDT

Some students are even planning on participating in a walkout on Friday morning and have encouraged their classmates to share their personal stories of sexual assault or bullying.

“We won’t be silenced,” one student wrote on Instagram.

Amazon is having a huge sale — up to 67 percent off — on these must-have bath products

Amazon is having a huge sale on basic bath products that can save you big time. (Photo: Amazon)

Buying simple necessities is a lot less exciting than finding something fun and spontaneous — like a miniature cowboy hat — but a good sale can turn the dull chore into something you can cheer about.

Amazon is having a huge sale today on basic bath products. Towel sets are up to 67 percent off, costing as little as $6.

If you don’t already know, you’re supposed to replace towels every one to two years, according to experts. Even if you consistently wash your towels, they eventually wear down, which can ruin the absorbency and also lead to a smell that won’t go away.

So, it’s probably time to get some new towels.

The low price tag might make you wonder about the quality of these products, but don’t worry, they’re all made from cotton and have at least a four-star rating from other shoppers.

Check out some of our favorite items on sale right now:

Transgender women of color are pioneers of the LGBTQ-rights movement. Why are they still fighting for their lives?

The start of LGBTQ Pride Month came with an exciting announcement in New York City: Two pioneering transgender activists, vanguards of the gay-liberation movement, would be getting statues in Greenwich Village, immortalizing their vital roles in the 1969 Stonewall rebellion — which has its 50th anniversary this year and is widely considered to be the official start of the movement.

“The LGBTQ movement was portrayed very much as a white, gay male movement,” Chirlane McCray, first lady of New York City, said at the official announcement. “This monument counters that trend of whitewashing the history.”

News of the statues, the first in the U.S. to commemorate transgender individuals, was celebrated on social media, where Raquel Willis tweeted, “Monuments don’t make up for the mayhem, but this is beautiful.” Many others, including Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg and Queer Eye costar Karamo Brown, weighed in with praise and shout-outs to the activists.

Thanks to leaders like Marsha P. Johnson and Harvey Milk, I have faith in the possibility of change and growth in this country. There is still more work to do, but let us take a moment and celebrate the gains we've made this #PrideMonth.

— Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg) June 2, 2019

There would be no Pride Month without sharing our deep gratitude and respect for the transgender women of color who started it all, Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. Happy Pride Month! #StoneWall50 #PrideWasARiot pic.twitter.com/6SkdUgn3Ln

We stand on the shoulders of giants. I am so happy to see New York City immortalizing Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. They gave so much to this world and community, we should all continue the work that would make them proud. https://t.co/DHo15fdrim

Still, there was a lot that the valiant effort could not make up for, and many wounds it doesn’t seem likely to heal — especially for people like Sharron Cooks, a transgender activist in Philadelphia.

Cooks spent June 1 eulogizing and then burying her dear friend, Michelle “Tameka” Washington, who was one of four black transgender women murdered, in cities across the country, within just 12 days of each other.

“On the first day of Pride Month, we laid our sister to rest,” Cooks posted on Facebook. “Pride Month will never be the same for me.”

Along with Washington, who was remembered by loved ones that day as “beautiful,” “outspoken” and “a mother figure,” the recent spate of murders has claimed the lives of Muhlaysia Booker in Dallas, Claire Legato in Cleveland and an as-of-yet unidentified trans woman in Detroit, all of whom were gunned down. A fifth transgender woman, Amber Nicole of Denver, was brutally beaten by two men outside a nightclub, leaving her with facial nerve damage and a broken jaw. And most recently, on June 3, the body of Chynal Lindsey, 26, was pulled out of a Dallas lake by police, showing “obvious signs of homicidal violence.”

The anti-trans violence has sparked a flurry of national media coverage, plus vigils and rallies across the country.

“We will not be erased!” yelled a fired-up speaker into a megaphone at one such demo — Keep Your Hands Off Trans Bodies in New York City, held on the Friday before Memorial Day. A crowd of nearly 300 had gathered beneath the stately arch of Washington Square Park, forming a thick ring around each speaker who spoke or screamed from the heart — “Stigma is weaponizing murderers!” and “Black trans lives matter!”

Some, like Olympia Perez of Black Trans Media, could not contain their fury. “Black trans people have been here forever — and on their backs, you guys stand!” She directed her rage at the many white and non-trans people who took up space at the front of the crowd, referencing the legacies of activists such as Johnson, who worked tirelessly for LGBTQ rights only to be found dead in the Hudson River, after a suspected but never-solved homicide, in 1992.

“Marsha!” Perez screamed in anguish, smacking the ground with an open palm, “Stand the f*ck up and show them!”

Four days later, hundreds of mourners filed into the Cathedral of Hope church in Dallas, where the funeral of 23-year-old Muhlaysia Booker received a crush of media attention (and even a subsequent social media post by none other than Prince Harry and Meghan Markle).

“She would always say, ‘Mama, I’m willing to die for my transition, my respect and what I believe in,” Booker’s mother, Stephanie Houston, told the crowd, which included lots of local and national press — interest likely piqued by the fact that Booker had been viciously attacked in a parking lot in broad daylight, in a video snippet that had gone viral just a month before she was killed.

Those recent scenes — of funerals and rageful rallies — have stood in stark contrast to the excitement oozing through many queer-activist circles, where preparations have been underway for a particularly auspicious Gay Pride Month: This year marks not only the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, which started when patrons of the Stonewall Inn bar pushed back against an anti-gay police raid, but of the arrival in NYC of the annual international WorldPride festival, from InterPride, after past stops in Rome, London, Tel Aviv and Madrid.

The entire month, and especially the last weekend in June, when the annual NYC Pride March takes place, will be a lavish display of dance parties, celebrity appearances, parades, film screenings, concerts, drag performances, rallies and, of course, marketing opportunities.

It’s pretty safe to say, then, that the commemoration of those so-called “riots” of 1969 is now more a riot of rainbows and glitter. And many transgender people, believing they’ve been left behind by the larger LGBT movement, are not feeling it.

“World Pride should be about re-shifting resources to those who need it the most,” New York Transgender Advocacy Group executive director Kiara St. James, organizer of Keep Your Hands Off Trans Bodies, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “While cis[gender] queers will converge on NYC to celebrate Pride, the reason for having it was Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, two transwomen of color. Their ‘children’ are still dealing with lack of housing and healthcare and employment opportunities. So, celebrate Pride. But know that the community does not have equity.”

Elle Hearns, a social-justice organizer and founding director of the Marsha P. Johnson Institute, launching June 21, adds: “We all want to celebrate. I would love to get on a float and just really be happy going to Pride. But I also understand who's not there.”

TOO MANY MISSING

Media interest in anti-trans violence may be at an all-time high. But, says Hearns, “One of the biggest points is that this is actually been happening for decades.”

It’s only recently that statistics on transgender killings, believed to be widely underreported, have been more reflective of the reality. Since 2015, according to the Human Rights Campaign, an average of 24 transgender individuals have been murdered each year, and disproportionate numbers of the victims have been trans women of color. The deadliest year on record since then was 2017, during which activists tracked at least 29 such deaths, with killings by acquaintances, partners and strangers, some never identified. In 2018, there were 26 such recorded murders, and in 2019, so far, there have been seven.

(And anti-transgender violence is, of course, not limited to the United States. A 2016 Transgender Europe report found that over 2,000 trans people had been killed since 2008, with Central and South America accounting for nearly 75 percent of those total trans killings; just last month, the body of a trans woman from Veracruz, Mexico, was reportedly discovered by police, beheaded.)

Further, the results of a 2015 survey (the most recent available) by the National Center for Transgender Equality found the following: that 20 percent of black transgender individuals were unemployed (twice that of the cisgender black population); 38 percent were living in poverty (compared to 24 percent of non-trans people of color); 42 percent had experienced homelessness; 53 percent had been sexually assaulted; and 6.7 percent were living with HIV — more than 20 times the rate of .3 percent in the general U.S. population.

There is also this shocking statistic, cited often by the country’s largest LGBTQ non-profits (though the exact source is not apparent): that the average life expectancy of transgender women of color is just 35 years old.

“One of the biggest problems that trans people face — more specifically, black trans women — is the lack of access to healthcare, employment, housing, social support and everything that can help an individual thrive,” transgender-rights activist and media personality Ashlee Marie Preston, who marked her 34th birthday last year by launching the hashtag “Thrive Over 35” to raise awareness of the short life expectancy, tells Yahoo Lifestyle.

“And what happens is, when you don't have access to housing, healthcare and employment or social support,” she continues, “you get caught up in the growth of the prison industrial complex. You have to engage in street economy, which adds an additional layer of risk to your life. And that cuts into your life expectancy.” Plus, Preston explains, “the fact that some people say ‘I experienced racism’ or ‘I experienced sexism’ or ‘I experienced a transphobia,’ many people aren't able to imagine experiencing all of those simultaneously.”

Sometimes, in fact, even with all that’s been gained since Stonewall — marriage equality, parenting rights, and various protections in employment, housing and healthcare — it can feel to some, especially transgender women of color, like not much has changed at all, particularly when one looks at the current administration’s anti-trans policies, which take away rights in areas of military service, healthcare and housing.

“For what good it did my trans girls, it might as well have not happened,” Miss Major, a longtime transgender activist and veteran of the Stonewall rebellion, told HuffPost in 2018 of the legendary uprising.

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF

That feeling — that the “T” of LGBT is oft forgotten by the larger movement, and even more so for trans individuals who are not white — hits home especially hard if you watch the iconic, heartbreaking clip of Sylvia Rivera getting booed as she addressed the largely white, cisgender crowd at the 1973 Gay Pride rally in New York City.

“Y’all better quiet down!” Rivera screamed from the stage, accusing those rallying of belonging “to a white, middle-class white club.” She had joined forces with Marsha P. Johnson to form STAR (Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries), a queer-youth advocacy group, but had to struggle with Pride organizers to get any time to speak at all. “I have been to jail! I have been raped!” she finally yelled into the mic, her voice raw with emotion. “I have been beaten! I have had my nose broken! I have been thrown in jail! I have lost my job I have lost my apartment for gay liberation — and you treat me this way? What the f*ck’s wrong with you all? I believe in gay power! Revolution now! Gay power!”

In a later interview about that moment — footage that’s included in the 2017 David France documentary The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson — Rivera says that she went home from that rally and attempted suicide, and survived only because Johnson found her in time. “I was hurt, and I felt that the movement had completely betrayed the drag queens and the street people,” she says. “And I felt that the years I had already given them had been a waste.”

Decades later, many trans activists feel similarly frustrated and forgotten.

“It's very disrespectful to the legacy of the queer liberation movement when the LGBTQ community at large refuses to prioritize the wellbeing and survival of trans women of color — given that Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera quite literally built the movement on their backs,” Preston says. “They started a nonprofit where they were just renting hotel rooms and apartments from the money they were making from sex work, so that they could take young LGBT kids off the streets who were kicked out by their families for being who they are.”

Although Johnson and Rivera (who died of liver cancer in 2002) are often credited with actually sparking the Stonewall uprising — or throwing the first brick or Molotov cocktail, as the legends go — both denied having done so. They were certainly key players on the scene, though, and their years of advocacy both before and after are undeniable, hence the plans for NYC monuments.

But whether or not that sort of public acknowledgment or visibility translates into actual change is yet to be seen.

Some give big props to the strides made regarding transgender visibility in pop culture, most recently with the FX series Pose, kicking off its second season on June 11. The show, produced by Ryan Murphy and Steven Canals and written and directed by transgender pioneer Janet Mock, broke ground by casting actual transgender actors to play transgender characters, and tells the story of New York City’s 1980s drag ball culture — first told to a larger audience through Jennie Livington’s 1990 documentary Paris Is Burning, and thrust into the mainstream spotlight with Madonna’s “Vogue” that same year.

Mock spoke about the potential power of such representation on Pose on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah in 2018. “We have five women with different dreams, who have love, desire, who want to be desired, who are funny, who are villains,” she said, which educates viewers in many ways. “You show people that, number one, it’s not scary, that they’re not horrible people, that they’re not freak shows — that instead they’re humans that you care about… They’re invested, and I hope that it doesn’t just entertain and inspire, but that it also moves people to care and hopefully do something.”

Preston also sees Pose’s potential to change hearts and minds. “I think it underscores the level of humanity that is universal that anybody can connect to,” she says. “We all know what it feels like to be thrown away. We all know what it feels like to be discarded. We all know what it feels like to not know if you're going to survive or not. We all know what it feels like to want to be held and like want to have purpose and want to be seen.”

Still others are skeptical, including transgender artist and activist Reina Gosset, aka Tourmaline, who was speaking in general about visibility when she told Teen Vogue in 2017, “While trans visibility is at an all-time high, with trans people increasingly represented in popular culture, violence against us has also never been higher. The push for visibility, without it being tied to a demand for our basic needs being met, often leaves us without material resources or tangible support, and exposed to more violence and isolation.”

And Hearns believes that the power of Pose may be overstated.“I think Pose is necessary, but I also see that organizing is necessary and [that it] doesn't change the conditions for everybody because there are five trans women who are stars on a show,” she says. “What's happening in the White House, Pose is not shifting.”

WHAT NEEDS TO CHANGE

Preston — who first gained wide recognition when she called out Caitlyn Jenner for being a “fraud” for her support of Trump in a 2017 video that went viral — does not mince words about who she believes is to blame for trans women of color being left behind by the LGBT movement.

“Every time that I hear another black trans woman was murdered, there’s this flame of rage that ignites in the pit of my belly, because I want to hold the other communities accountable for not showing up for us the way that we show up for every other community at the intersections of our identity,” Preston says. “I want to ask the LGBTQ community why they aren't prioritizing black trans lives. I want to ask the black community why we aren’t prioritizing black trans women. I want to ask women why we're still not considering trans women as women and as part of the larger national conversation around intimate partner violence, which is an extension of some of these deaths.”

“The truth,” she continues, “is that many gay white men use their sexuality as a shield to absolve them of the responsibility of dismantling sexist, racist and transphobic mechanisms within our community systems of oppression.” Instead, Preston says, some of these men believe “‘if I lean into my own oppression, then I don't have to do the work to liberate other people’… I'm not saying that [no] gay white man knows struggle. What I'm saying is that your race and your gender aren’t contributing factors to your struggle.”

Cooks, in the wake of her friend Tameka’s murder, tells Yahoo Lifestyle that she believes the answer is complex and nuanced, and that it partly lies within the trans community itself. “I think, ultimately, there is a lot of internal work that the trans community needs to do and that needs to be addressed,” she says, noting that, too often, trans women are killed by people they know. “Trans women have to do a better job at building our self-esteem and our self-worth, and not settling for less than we deserve.”

She also points a finger at various LGBTQ nonprofits, however, for not putting trans women of color into positions of power. “How many trans women do we have in the nonprofit world? How many are sitting on boards? A lot of the gay and lesbian and bisexual orgs aren’t really offering the economic opportunities.” (At the Human Rights Campaign, the “largest national lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer civil rights organization,” the executive staff and other higher-ups is largely white and cisgender, similar to the makeup at other national organizations, including the Family Equality Council, Lambda Legal and GLAAD.)

“A lot of these nonprofit organizations claim they are about the advancement of all LGBTQ people,” Preston also notes. “The reality is, they have a propensity to screen ‘black trans trauma porn’ to rake in donor dollars. But when it's actually time to benefit from those dollars, trans women of color are always at the back of the line.”

The scope of the problem is huge, Hearns, notes, because the LGBTQ movement, as she sees it, is not reflective of the communities it purports to represent. “My hope that the Marsha P. Johnson Institute will restore our belief that all of our people are worthy of everything — and in order to believe that, you really have to start with the people who have nothing. That is my take on Pride.”

That’s why Hearns is launching the Institute in the middle of June, she explains, “because we recognize how quickly the celebration will overtake what we understand about the history. Stonewall was a radical protest. It was a radical demonstration. It was a radical movement. And so, over the last 50 years, that movement has become not only sanitized, but it has stopped making radical demands, because of the desire to be seen as ‘normal.’”

It's why Pride, for Hearns and many other activists, such as the organizers of the Reclaim Pride Coalition in NYC and similar efforts across the country, are pushing back against mainstream festivities this year. “We are celebrating from very ahistorical perspective, and it's painful to just see the celebration and the corporations who have really embraced Pride — without actually embracing what they need to do to alleviate the reasons why Pride exists in the first place,” she says. “You cannot shake hands with the police and then use trans people in a campaign with rainbows on. That’s just not what this is about.”

Amazon's hard-to-find coupon section will help you save, instantly

You can save even more money shopping on Amazon by visiting its coupon page and clipping up discounts immediately. (Photo: Getty Images)

The thrill of getting a good deal can easily be washed away in a pool of untouched coupons that are likely stacking up in some sort of mail pile you have at home. Though online retail have given these real-life printouts a back seat, they’re a lesser-known element of one of the most popular shopping sites around — Amazon.

That’s right. Amazon of all places has a special hard-to-find section filled to the brim with coupons on all things ranging from Tommy Hilfiger fashion to household essentials like Febreze.

What it is

It’s pretty simple. Like your typical newspaper clipping, Amazon offers up various percentages off things like tools, pet supplies, electronics and fashion.

Once you “clip” the coupon of your choice, it’s automatically added to your cart, and the discount is applied once you check out. And just like that, you’ve saved some money without giving away a ton of your time.

How it works

You can find Amazon’s coupon page by clicking on the Today’s Deals section that’s found right under the homepage search bar. Once you land on the deals page, the coupon section can be found on the top left, right under where your delivery location is typically shown. (Coupon categories can be found on the left sidebar.)

Once you find something of your liking, simply press “click coupon.” The discount is automatically saved to your cart, but you won’t see the amount saved until you checkout, so don’t get scared if the full price is still visible in your cart. To make sure the coupon will be applied, view the item and check under the price. The amount to be saved should be right under the total cost.

After that, all you have to do is pay, save and wait for your delivery!

Tips and tricks

Just because you clip a coupon doesn’t mean you have to immediately buy the product. Your coupons will save and be applied whenever you buy the item, so don’t stress out about how much time you’re spending browsing the page, your coupons will save throughout your shopping.

If you’re searching for a particular brand, you can type the name into the search bar to view all of the related savings.

The sort option can help you find the biggest deals, expiration dates and the most popular items — all great things to note while browsing.

And, above the list of categories on the left side of the page, there’s an option that allows you to view all of the coupons clipped, which can help you compare discounts and rates easily.

Things to remember

Coupons are only eligible for one item, which means if you buy six packs of toilet paper, only one pack will receive the discount shown on the coupon.

New coupon offers are constantly added, so check the page regularly for up-to-date savings.

There is an expiration date on Amazon coupons, so if you find something you want, buy it!

If you return an item bought with a coupon, the amount you saved might be subtracted from the return credit.

There’s an option to share a coupon on social media or via email, so if you find a discount your friend will love, send it their way (it won’t take away from your ability to use the same one).

Below, shop using some of the best coupons we found on Amazon.
