Why an Iowa-Employed, Transsexual Woman Resident of Illinois Has More Authority to Speak on Maryland Transsexual Law Than Morgan Meneses-Sheets or Any Non-Trans Gay or Lesbian
Its time to look at one of Kat’s many photo albums. Ansel Adams quality? Prolly not. But, nevertheless, they are a couple of shots I took in and near a DC Metro stop in Maryland whilst a bit bored one evening in November 2009. Now… Some shots – including self-portraits – I took whilst bored at a different kind of train station in a different part of Maryland about 9 1/2 years before the first three. But wait, there are more… Two shots at an NTAC organizational meeting in Maryland (including, among others, Vanessa Edwards Foster and Dawn Wilson) the day after that second group of three shots – and one shot of the restaurant where those who attended that meeting had dinner afterward. Tired of my photos? Bear with me. Tired of my refusal to drink Free State Just Us’s kool-aid – either in 2001 or 2011? Too bad.

Why this article may matter
Community significance
“Why an Iowa-Employed, Transsexual Woman Resident of Illinois Has More Authority to Speak on Maryland Transsexual Law Than Morgan Meneses-Sheets or Any Non-Trans Gay or Lesbian” 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.
