People don't get that enforcing gender norms hurts all women. In 1970s NYC, with few exceptions, women couldn't get office work without full femme drag including high heels. Feminists & queer women opened space for other presentations. For sure cis women will be hurt by this too.

You cannot “ban” transgender people. What you can do is police gender. Force dress codes around what men are women are “supposed” to wear. These kinds of laws existed in the near past and will in the near future. That future will be violent against gender nonconformity.

NYC's workplace norm of women wearing high heels was so rigid it took social upheaval to change it. In 1980, an 11-day subway and bus strike transformed commuter's uniforms forever. Women got out running shoes and high tops and walked 2-10 miles to work.

The trend of women wearing sneakers for commutes originated with the NYC transit strike in April 1980, when the city's professional women hoofed it.

Incisive analysis: "This hysterical [Tennessee] GOP overreaction was triggered, as it were, by mass citizen dissent over the ugly realities of right-wing rule." But, "if the adage was 'all politics is local,' we can now say that 'all local politics is in danger of going viral.'"

Don't overlook the bigger story behind the "Tennessee 3": As GOP legislatures become fever swamps of reactionary rule, they're increasingly employing novel abuses of power to tamp down the backlash. This piece is FREE for those without a subscription:

@djbaskin Good on you for taking creative action. That's a lot of rocks! A cohort of geology Ph.D. students and their power tools could probably take it on. See this tweet.

Yeah, it was in the opinions, that these cases are all linked by a common view of privacy, which a majority of Justices wanted to obliterate. So, like dominos interracial marriage would go too. Here's the list of state laws that would go back into effect. It's 😮 1/x

@Jonesieman This is some bullshit. She was fired and the white chokehold cop was promoted. He sued her and won $65k! For 15 yrs, she "worked odd jobs, including as a truck driver, and sometimes lived in her car." After Floyd was killed, she filed a lawsuit to vacate the firing! Amazing!

Public health folks, would you care to offer a gentle history lesson on how the 1918 influenza pandemic caused NYC housing codes to change and why? We need to re-learn it in every generation. NYC mayor: “You don’t need a window when you are sleeping.”

EM could've said "cops." He chose "SWAT." For his 4/8chan brethren that's easily read as "swatting." Again, history is key. In 2018, a Tesla whistleblower was swatted via Tesla's security dept, the very same day Tesla filed a lawsuit against him.

Elon Musk went to great lengths to silence a Tesla whistleblower: report

Martin Tripp was a whistleblower and a Tesla employee who never anticipated the harassment he would suffer

TIL the New School pays p-t instructors less than CUNY, a public university which has had austerity budgets for decades. AYFKM? CUNY tuition is $7k. New School is $78k – ten times that! It's clear the problem is mismanagement.
