Source Summary

Hillary Clinton is going to be the next President of the United States and look at all the trans friendly people who are endorsing her campaign. Can you imagine endorsing a candidate that doesn’t support gays and lesbians? Why not? They don’t have a problem supporting Presidential candidates that don’t support transgender people, and why would you be surprised at that? Take a look at what’s happening in NY with GENDA or Massachusetts where transgender people can still be fired from their jobs, harassed, beat up and murdered with no hate crime law to help with investigations or prosecutions. MASS Equality is having trouble trying to figure out what to do with their left over 3 million dollar budget. Their job is done, same sex marriage is legal, gays and lesbians have a non-discrimination law and a hate crimes law. Look out NY, same sex marriage will be next in

Interpretive context

Why this article may matter

Community significance

“The Dirty Dozens” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to law and civil rights, 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 2007 at Transadvocate.com, “The Dirty Dozens” provides dated evidence of how law and civil rights 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 research ethics and data governance. It links that institutional frame to law and civil rights 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.
