It’s hard to give this post a “like” because the decision is so awful and dehumanizing. But I appreciate your reporting, Erin, to bring awareness and attention to this terrible ruling. Thank you.

The forced haircuts are an ugly (and likely deliberate) echo of past policies toward Native American children sent to white boarding schools to 'civilize' them. The article doesn't comment on Keohane's ethnicity, but it does seem likely that she has some non-white ancestry.

Yet another instance of racism combined with transphobia. It's also just plain old cruelty and dehumanization.
