Slavery was Legal.
Colonialism was Legal.
Jim Crow was Legal.
Apartheid was Legal.
Legality depends on who has power and the kinds of laws they pass to preserve their own privileges and bigoted views. Legality often has nothing to do with justice.

But Maryland is about to reverse *moderate* juvenile reforms and send MORE kids to adult prison.
Research by the American Psychological Association found that people perceive Black youth as older than they are, making judges more prone to treating young Black defendants as full adults than they are with young white defendants.
A Wave of States Reduce “Death by Incarceration” for Young Adults - Bolts
Massachusetts banned sentences of life without parole for “emerging adults” up to age 21, the latest in a series of states revisiting who counts as young in the eyes of the law.

The anti-transgender bill passed by the Utah House today is so expansive in its criminal bathroom ban that lawmakers had to make clear how cisgender people can defend themselves against criminal charges under the bill. www.lawdork.com/p/utah-house...
![The legislation then acknowledges how unrealistic its exception described above is and admits that even cisgender people are inevitably going to be targeted for prosecution by this anti-transgender law through its description of two defenses to the ban.
Specifically, (4)(a) would apply to cisgender people ensnared by the ban, and (4)(b) is a defense for those people prosecuted under the ban despite meeting the invasive exceptions to the ban described earlier.
(4) An individual may use the following evidence as a defense against an allegation
365 that the individual is not eligible to access and use a sex-designated privacy space under
366 Subsection (1):
367 (a) for an individual whose birth sex corresponds with the sex designation of the
368 privacy space ...[add'l requirements]; or
374 (b) for an individual whose birth sex does not correspond with the sex designation of
375 the privacy space .... [add'l requirements].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreibmpj6wyxwgwtjmzf7rnyn263ssxirbqf7lowismsftvuk6u4ogou@jpeg)
