In their chapter on the criminalization of trans immigrants, Pooja Gehi @phatpooj and @gabrielarkles don’t just discuss the problem. They also consider different tactics for fighting it: litigation, bystander intervention, and creating sanctuaries. @phatpooj @gabrielarkles Each tactic has limitations. Litigation uses the same “undeserving”/“deserving” stereotypes we need to dismantled. Bystander intervention can rely on the bystander’s prejudices. Sanctuaries can exclude those who are criminalized, & require significant political will to maintain.
