US — Brooklyn, New York. Cherno Biko is a renowned trans rights activist, and a man who identifies as a woman. According to his open rape confession, which he posted on Medium, Mr Biko, who is black, decided he wanted “non-binary” black babies. “Non-binary” is a term often used by the transgender establishment to refer to individuals who identify out of the sexes of male and female.

On March 26, 2016, driven by admitted sense of entitlement to the use of a woman’s body for sexual and breeding purposes and perpetuation of his genderist and racialized ideals, Mr Biko forced his will upon a black woman, holding her down and raping her with the intent of impregnating her. He persisted even as she protested, the victim said.

Mr Biko’s rape victim is a woman who identifies as a man. On Twitter, the victim expressed feelings of shock, hurt, betrayal and anguish. Her outpouring of pain led Mr Biko to post a public confession, in which he shared his motivation for the rape and his greater perspective on those who commit crimes of sexual violence.

This is Mr Biko’s rape confession, as originally published on the website Medium:

Mr Biko first edited and then removed his rape confession from Medium.com when it was met with outrage and backlash from his supporters.

To the expressed horror of left-leaning women’s advocacy organizations and right-leaning conservative organizations alike, Mr Biko was asked to take the stage at the Women’s March in Washington DC, US on January 22, 2017, less than a year after his rape confession. A co-founder of #BlackTransLivesMatter, Mr Biko used the platform provided by the Women’s March to bring attention to Mya Hall and Deonna Mason, who were male, transgender individuals killed by police in what activists call unjustified uses of lethal force.

In his rape confession, Mr Biko made space to shame activists who refuse to advocate for black men who rape black women or children, denouncing it as “respectability politics.” Mr Biko named Keyonna Blakeney and Alton Sterling, and argued that these and other individuals accused or convicted of sex crimes are nonetheless entitled to activists’ support.

Mr Blakeney, a 22-year-old man who identified as a woman, had been arrested for statutory rape shortly before he was murdered.

Mr Sterling was a 37-year-old man who was shot dead by police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in what activists say was an unjust shooting. Although Mr Sterling had served prison time for the statutory rape of a 14-year-old black girl whom he impregnated during long-term sexual abuse, and had been charged in multiple incidents of intimate partner abuse against black women, Black Lives Matter held rallies in Mr Sterling’s honor.

Mr Biko served as Co-Chair of the Young Women’s Advisory Council of New York City until July 2016, months after the rape. According to his LinkedIn profile, he is ranked among the Trans 100 and was listed in 2014 as one of the National Black Justice Coalition’s 100 Emerging Leaders. He resides in Brooklyn, NY, where he serves as Creative Director of the Ms Biko World Tour.
