Even in countries with existing detention crises, the conscious step to degrade due process for targeted groups further diminishes the larger legal system while shifting power to emerging quasi-legal and extralegal approaches.

I’ve been writing about Reed Erickson’s relationship with Harry Benjamin lately, and have found Alison Li’s recent biography of Benjamin indispensable. Highly recommend to any and all trans history nerds.
