Source Summary

Todays guest blogger is Michelle Diane Rose. Michelle is a communications student and the co-author of The Color of Sunlight. She lives in Portland, Oregon and works for a non-profit. (I dunno why I’ve taken to using “teh” instead of “the”. A sneer seems to be creeping in from offstage somewhere and I’m thinking it’s indicative of something but I dunno what, yet.) Would you hire a tranny? C’mon, this is Oregon, a blue State through and through, right? We have the Oregon Equality Act, which prevents discrimination in hiring and employment practices, right? So any employer ought to be able to nod and say, “Yes, we would most certainly consider hiring a trans person for any position available if that person were qualified.” Right? Right. And I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. Cheap. Like hell any of you will. You will like hell hire me and people

Interpretive context

Why this article may matter

Community significance

“Hiring Teh Trans” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to law and civil rights, while also engaging labor, economics, and institutions. Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.

Historical significance

As a publication record from 2010 at Transadvocate.com, “Hiring Teh Trans” provides dated evidence of how law and civil rights was being argued in relation to labor, economics, and institutions. Comparing it with earlier and later records can reveal changes in vocabulary, evidence, and emphasis.

Policy significance

The article’s strongest policy connection is labor and employment policy. It links that institutional frame to law and civil rights and labor, economics, and institutions, making it potentially useful for tracing how an argument moves from description or history into law, regulation, administration, or public practice.
