Slack-shrouded Miss Hulick was accompanied by Attorney William Katz, who carried four heavy volumes of citations relative to his client’s right to appear in court in whatever dress she chose.

“Listen,” said the young woman, “I’ve worn slacks since I was 15. I don’t own a dress except a formal. If he wants me to appear in a formal gown that’s okay with me.

“I’ll come back in slacks and if he puts me in jail I hope it will help to free women forever of anti-slackism.”

Your daily reminder that kindergarden teachers are BADASS.

Less than a hundred years ago there was a very famous case in LA about a woman who refused to wear a dress in court, so she was sent to jail.

I just saw a Twitter thread talking about transphobic legislation in Florida and the persecution of trans folks in general. There was a discussion about the state trying to forcibly detransition trans youth, and prevent both medical and social transition. Someone asked how the government could possibly regulate social transition, because "it's not like the government can regulate people's clothing choices."

I don't want to hate on this person, because I know that you don't know what you aren't taught, but it's just another demonstration of how vital it is for queer history to be shared.

Anti-cross-dressing laws exist to this day, and were actively enforced in the United States within living memory. [source] The Stonewall Riots happened in direct response to a police raid on the Stonewall Inn--and the police were raiding, as they often did, with the specific intent to arrest people wearing clothing that didn't "match their sex." [source]

Many schools and workplaces already police the way people are allowed to dress and present themselves, perfectly legally. There are endless articles discussing the ways Black people have their hair policed, people of color are targeted over their cultural clothing, women and girls have their clothing regulated by sexist dress codes, and the way trans people of all genders get targeted by strict uniform policies. Here's an article from 2020 that also talks about the need for legal protection of Black hairstyles in schools & the workplace. This is an article about a March 2022 dress code controversy over a nonbinary teacher. I could easily find more stories like this by quickly browsing Google.

I don't intend to panic-monger, but the government absolutely could get to the point where it's regulating queer people's clothing choices, because they have done it before. We have come incredibly far in an incredibly short amount of time, and there are government officials still in power who remember, and miss, the times when they could have us arrested for not dressing according to our assigned sex.

It's not some vague "what if?!" scenario, it's something that has very real, very scary precedent in the United States legal system.

Kerry James Marshall

https://www.bbc.co.uk/culture/article/20141023-i-show-black-is-beautiful

Kerry James Marshall  is an artists whos art work i have looked at breifly in past semesters. His paintings play on the’joke’ that black people’s skin is so dark, they cant be seen in the night unless they smile. He creates beautiful depictions of black women with exaggeratedly dark skin.

I am particularly interested in this painting ‘Untitled (beach towel)’ (image below).  It allows black people a key role – they are truly in the picture and not like the slave in Manet’s Olympia, leaning at the side of the white mistress reclining nude. the environment in this painting and beach towel referenced in the title pay homage to Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe in which a white prostitute lays nude at a public picnic with two fully clothed male suitors. 

“If you walk into any magazine store, I guarantee that nine out of 10 covers will feature white, blonde, blue-eyed, slim women because that’s still the ideal of beauty. When a black or Asian figure shows up in a fashion magazine, she’s the exception, not the rule. So what does that mean when we talk about equality? To me, equality means that I would be as likely to see black figures as anybody else.”

“If you think about the way we experience art, the paradigm is still Western European. If I go to the National Gallery, what am I going to see the most of? I'm not going to see a whole lot of black figures in pictures.”

“ If I go to the museum and see white bodies, black bodies, Asian bodies, Latino bodies, then I will expect to see those things every time I go. That matters a lot.”

I have picked out these key quotes by Kerry James Marshall because I think they accompany his artworks well in conveying his desire to see more representations of black people in museums and art galleries as well as other media like film. He highlights the difficulty for black people to be able to relate to a still very western dominated culture. Although some people may not care, it is evident that these things have an effect on the subconscious - specifically with self confidence and beauty standards.

كلنا اكيد عارفين النوع دا من الناس. اللي بيكون عباره عن زميل في العمل زي مايكون له عندك تار جده التاسع عشر وكأنه واقع جوا بركة متعفنه من السلبية، ووحي سعادته يكمن في التسبب في مشاكل لكل ما يتنفس على وجه الأرض وإثارة غضبهم.

ومظنش ان فينا اتنين هيختلفو ان اللي زي دول بيتسببوا حرفياً في موجات توتر مزعجه جداً في أي موقف وأي بيئة عمل أو حتى وسط مجتمعي.

وبنلاقيهم دايماً سعيهم المتفاني وجهودهم الخارقه للعاده بتكون لسببين ملهمش تالت أولاً إنهم يلفتو النظر ليهم عشان يعوضو نقص ما في جزئيه عندهم من شخصيتهم اللي ممكن ببساكه تكون عدم ثقتهم بنفسهم وقدراتهم وخوفهم من تفوق المحيطين بيهم عليهم بصفه مباشره او ميكونوش هما اصلاً في حسبان الأشخاص دول بس عدم إتزانهم وصلهم لنفث سمومهم على أي حد بيحسو منه بتهديد ، ومن الصعب أننا تتفاداهم تماما، مثل المتنمرين في أماكن العمل، اللي دايماً تلاقيهم يتحدو طبيعة الأمور بطريقة أنا الخارق اللي خرقت الأزون ويفضل يتباهى بكدا برغم حجم الكارثه اللي هو إتسبب فيها بس هو دماغه كدا تركبته كدا.

وعشان هما فئه كبيره ومش صغيره كان فكرة التعامل مع الفئه دي اللي دايماً سعادتهم وراحتهم النفسيه ورفع معنوياتهم حرفياً بيكون في حبهم لإلحاق الضرر بالغير، وإزاي احنا كفئات متزنه إلا حد ما إن مكناش مصابين بنفس الفيروس الملعون دا ومش حاسين بنفسنا طبعاً..نتعامل مع المتنمرين، كان مثار نقاش من فترة لشخصيات مؤثرة على موقع (LinkedIn) الاجتماعي للأعمال،

ودا رأي اثنين منهم.

● ترافيس برادبري، رئيس مؤسسة "تالنت-سمارت"

ودا لينك حسابه على LinkedIn وعليه المقال.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/travisbradberry

ودا لينك المقال على BBC

https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20141023-how-to-deal-with-toxic-people

يتسبب هؤلاء الأشخاص الذين يسعون إلى إلحاق الأذى بالآخرين في الشقاق، والأسوأ من ذلك ما يشيعونه من توتر في جو العمل، حسبما يقول برادبري في عموده "كيف يتعامل الناجحون مع من يسعون لإلحاق الأذى بالآخرين".

ويضيف أن "التوتر يمثل تهديدا كبيرا لنجاحك، وحينما يصبح التوتر خارجا عن السيطرة، فإن قدرتك على التفكير وأداءك سيت��ثران".

أما الرأي التاني كان كالآتي

● بنتشون قالت: "(المتنمرين) يتهمون، ويهددون، ويزعجون، ويضايقون، ويفضحون، ويرفعون أصواتهم، ويلوحون بقبضاتهم، وأحياناً يتسمون بالعنف. وطالما أن حالتك النفسية والجسدية مطمئنة، فإن عليك أن تفهم أن هذه المضايقات ليست إلا أساليب للتنمر تتسم بالحمق وأنت (فقط) تراقب ما يحدث".

تقول بنتشون إن "أفضل دفاع بوجه أحد الأشخاص المتنمرين في مكان العمل هو تحديد الأساليب التي يستخدمها ومقاومتها بدون تأزيم الوضع أو تصعيد الخلاف. حافظ على هدوء أعصابك، عليك التعامل مع الأساليب التي تهدف إلى إثارة النزاع بنبرة هادئة، وعليك اللجوء إلى ردود عقلانية".

وطبعاً بعترف إني معملتش كدا...بس بردو أنا مقتنع تماماً برد فعلي لأني حرفياً ثقتي في ربنا إن مش دي البيئه اللي هكون مقتنع فيها بشخصيتي وكياني المستقل....ورسالتي واضحه جداً📧😏

...................................تحياتي🙂👋

This article is by an artist called Kerry James Marshall.

quote from the article:

“If you walk into any magazine store, I guarantee that nine out of 10 covers will feature white, blonde, blue-eyed, slim women because that’s still the ideal of beauty. When a black or Asian figure shows up in a fashion magazine, she’s the exception, not the rule. So what does that mean when we talk about equality? To me, equality means that I would be as likely to see black figures as anybody else.”

I really felt this quote because its very true, beautiful is the fairest, and slimmest. I love the fact that he uses the silkiest looking black for his figures, because if the lightest colour is beautiful so is the darkest. Another interesting point made by him is that coloured people are often an accessory with in paintings not the main focus.

This article is from 2014 are the writer said it is sad to see these things in 2014, it is now 2018 and I do not remember the last time I saw a painting of a black person/people.
