Why is Free State Just Us, er…, ‘Equality’ Maryland Afraid to Have its Propaganda Critiqued in the Light of Day?
CENSORED AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! And, of course, the sockpuppet’s sockpuppet is right in the middle of it. That was the second comment to the following post at PHB: Valentine’s Day in Maryland is about more than dinner and roses this year The post pimps Maryland’s public accommodations-free trans bill – and the post is by none other than “Lurleen.” The tool for that pimping is Sandy Rawls’ story.

Why this article may matter
Community significance
“Why is Free State Just Us, er…, ‘Equality’ Maryland Afraid to Have its Propaganda Critiqued in the Light of Day?” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to transgender identity and history, while also engaging law and civil rights. Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.
Historical significance
The article may have historical value because it explicitly interprets or preserves material concerning transgender identity and history. Published in 2011 by Transadvocate.com, it can be read both for the history it describes and as evidence of how law and civil rights was framed at that moment.
Policy significance
The article’s strongest policy connection is civil rights and anti-discrimination and public accommodations and facilities. It links that institutional frame to transgender identity and history and law and civil rights, making it potentially useful for tracing how an argument moves from description or history into law, regulation, administration, or public practice.
