Notes from Dr. Borkosky

The Trump administration wants to legalize transgender discrimination in the workplace. So rescinding the education guidance for trans students was one of the first things that Sessions and DeVos did in February of 2017. There's no way out of that, right?

But I think there's a real question about, how is it done and what is lost? There's some level at which that itself is a little privileged. And-. And so it wasn't until later in the 2000s that I started to realize that we don't have to rely on binary so much.

It distributes harms. CHASE STRANGIO: Yes. CHRIS HAYES: You talked about “Boys Don't Cry,” and two things are striking me. CHASE STRANGIO: Yes. And you can see, of course, the evolution was from the demands of the LGBT movement, which were really about radical kinship and caretaking to marriage. You can even, you know, there are LGB folks who are like, "Just leave them behind." That's the whole question.

Is there something significant in this? One, I think really comes from the reality of the history of the gay rights movement, in particular. It's something that is produced by a set of performative actions in a social context. He's pursuing cases that he will be arguing. And so, I am just going to be out here every single day, and I know that my other trans folks are, too, to make sure that we tell young people that we are going to fight for them and that we stop these things from becoming law, so that people’s medication and people’s lifesaving support is not immediately cut off and criminalized. And it's like, is that what you want to define who you are in this sort of category that is so salient? And then I think it was really in sort of my political organizing after college, as I became involved in prison abolition work, which there's so many queer and trans people in that work, that I started to meet actual trans people, and this was in Boston. We can see that as parents with our children. CHASE STRANGIO: So, you know, we’re following South Dakota closely. But that's a key, conceptual way of sort of thinking about the challenge, from a social justice perspective, of trans equality in this moment. ", CHASE STRANGIO: They're saying, "That's why we fired you. And-. CHASE STRANGIO: I want it to be, but even here you can see, look, the first turn towards the military as first order reform-, CHRIS HAYES: Right. CHASE STRANGIO: Yeah. Well, gender studies, religious studies.

And I see how these particular trade-offs end up hindering other things, like organizing, for example. And so, it was not my experience that I have some sort of memory of a tortured childhood where I was like, "I am a boy, and I know I'm a boy, and nobody's listening to me." I'm going to tell my boss." She writes this beautiful letter explaining her struggle, coming out to her boss, and he fires her.

Now we’re in a context where that’s what lawmakers are saying to the youth who are watching. Your support amplifies the voices of journalists, activists and changemakers who are working hard to improve this country. AMY GOODMAN: I mean, if you can also explain both the science of these drugs, but then what this bill says, that they would put a medical provider in jail for up to 10 years for engaging in medical treatment of a patient? So it's not that all forms of segregation are the same, but the reliance on segregation of gender as an organizing principal of society has very serious costs in terms of care taking labor, in terms of access to the workplace, in terms of-. The meaning of things are their public meaning that we all agreed to through conversation.

And, yet, I think, well... CHRIS HAYES: Definitely open your Supreme Court arguments with that. CHASE STRANGIO: I do. CHRIS HAYES: That'll be one of the three cases that are consolidated and argued October 8th. Chase Strangio (r) met with ACLU client Chelsea Manning after Manning's release from prison in 2017. The late, great historian Howard Zinn died 10 years ago this week. And the movement then grows out of a lot of the leadership that is led by white men. All identities are social constructs and they ebb and flow in terms of their salience, right? Now here's what's more astonishing and, frankly, should terrify people even more.

You have to become a coherent legal subject. CHASE STRANGIO: So, there are three cases before the court that are set to be argued on October 8th. And one of the things she read then was the theorist Judith Butler. It's the least salient identity in the world. I think that whatever happens in South Dakota will ultimately set the tone for the rest of session, so it’s critical that we stop that bill there, so that we can continue to build momentum to ensure that we’re able to protect trans young people from these really egregious attacks all over the country. But at the time, I remember having my mind blown a little bit because we are taught from such a young age that male and female, man and woman, boy and girl, are central characteristics of the universe. CHASE STRANGIO: People glue bows on their bald babies to make sure everyone genders them correctly, so for me, I think one of the things I say a lot is in my home, we talk about bodies and behaviors as not falling within a binary, so as much as you would say girls can be anything, I would say any body part can be on a girl, and any body part can be on a boy, because it simply wouldn't work in my house to say something else because my body doesn't look like a typical boy's body or a typical girl's body, so my kid understands me as her father, and I am her father, and I don't look like the boys that she knows to be boys and those genital characteristics, so her conception of the world is that there are these categories, they exist, they are absurd in her mind in a lot of ways, and you just claim that which works for you.
