Law’s origins and racialized control

Ozzy chats with Whit Washington (they/them), senior attorney for the Nonbinary & Transgender Rights Project at Lambda Legal. Topics include:

• Why the Skrmetti decision isn't as broadly damaging as we might think
• Becoming a lawyer because you're inspired by Kimberlé Crenshaw and also nervous about math :)
• The enormous impact of queer legal scholar Pauli Murray and trans jailhouse attorney Dee Farmer
• Can you use the law to abolish the law?
• Plus: Dazed and Confused, Nathaniel Bacon, and listener advice

This Week in Gender: Should you update your passport right now? (Plus, resources for sharing Know Your Rights info; finding someone arrested by ICE; combatting workplace ICE raids; adopting a day labor corner; helping immigrant rights orgs; and supporting immigrant communities.)
