Why this article may matter
Community significance
“More Separatist Crap” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to law and civil rights, while also engaging community and organizing. 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 law and civil rights. Published in 2011 by Transadvocate.com, it can be read both for the history it describes and as evidence of how community and organizing 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 law and civil rights and community and organizing, making it potentially useful for tracing how an argument moves from description or history into law, regulation, administration, or public practice.
