The #MeTook movement has done a great deal to address sexual abuse and violence. There is no doubt that justice may occur when the right person speaks out. However, what happens when the wrong people- that is, people of color, the working class women, and transgender people- speak out on the same issue? When these "wrong people" do speak out, they are discredited, marginalized, and silence by being ignored. This viewpoint essay addresses two populations that have been overlooked by the #MeToo movement: women of color and transgender people. The essay concludes with recommendations for how the movement can move forward given the criticisms around the absence of diversity and transparency.
