Florida: Gender, sex not the same | Letters to the editor

From the Sun Sentinel and one of our board members:

‘I have just learned that the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles has taken the unilateral step to ban transgender individuals from applying for licenses that reflect their gender identity.

Gender and sex are not the same thing, and they do not always match. Gender is the socially constructed binary built upon a human’s body presentation at birth, but sometimes doctors make the decision of what to do with a body that does not conform to a shallow understanding of human dynamics and realities.’

Rebecca André, PBC NOW

The 9 to 5 Movement: How Women Got Angry, Got Organized, and Made Labor History

From TeenVogue.com:

“On a cold December morning in 1972, 10 women office workers fanned out across downtown Boston to pass out the first issue of ‘The 9 to 5 Newsletter.’”

“We keep Boston’s businesses and institutions running smoothly,” the activists asserted. “Without us, they would grind to a halt. Yet we are underpaid and undervalued.”

Before long, the rallying cry of “Raises and roses!” could be heard throughout the country.
