From Cradle to Grave: Trans People are Disrespected, Repudiated and Scorned

Source Summary

I was absolutely horrified, but sadly not surprised, to read about the treatment of Lashai Mclean at her own funeral. The article “Mass Walk-Out at Trans Woman’s Funeral” discusses how the minister presiding over the funeral engaged in victim-blaming and typical religious fundamentalism about “the wages of sin” to effectively dishonor and disrespect the memory of a trans woman who had been viciously murdered in a probable hate crime. At her OWN FUNERAL. What the case shows to me, is to remind me that us trans people are debased literally from cradle to grave in this deeply transphobic and cissexist society. From the time we are born, we are placed into a gender role that we do not identify with. This, to me, is akin to rape. This nonconsensual gender assignation is the beginning of a life of being mis-gendered, disrespected and dehumanized. From abuse on the playground, to teachers

Interpretive context

Why this article may matter

Community significance

“From Cradle to Grave: Trans People are Disrespected, Repudiated and Scorned” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to religion and morality, while also engaging transgender identity and history. 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 2011 at Transadvocate.com, “From Cradle to Grave: Trans People are Disrespected, Repudiated and Scorned” provides dated evidence of how religion and morality was being argued in relation to transgender identity and history. Comparing it with earlier and later records can reveal changes in vocabulary, evidence, and emphasis.

Policy significance

The article’s strongest policy connection is criminal justice and public safety and housing and social services. It links that institutional frame to religion and morality and transgender identity and history, making it potentially useful for tracing how an argument moves from description or history into law, regulation, administration, or public practice.
