Crossdressing Still Illegal?
Who knew? Crossdressing is still illegal in Oakland, California, & has been for 130 years.
“These laws have a history of being used as a tool of oppression,” have been “an excuse for persecution” against the LGBT community and people who don’t conform to traditional gender rolls.
In Oakland, the cross-dressing ordinance is not enforced and hasn’t been in recent memory. City officials also believe it is unconstitutional. But a report from Kaplan’s office noted that under the existing language, women in uniform working in the police and fire departments could be subject to arrest and misdemeanor charges.
Attention divas, daggers, dykes, sissies and studs: sashay shante, y’all. According to Oakland's Code of Ordinances, your style is illegal.
Immoral Dress Code 9.08.080 has been in place since 1879: “It is unlawful for any person in the city to appear in any public place nude or in the attire of a person of the opposite sex, or in any indecent or lewd attire.”
Yet shockingly, in 2010, cross-dressing remains an offense “against public peace and decency.”
“People who were not perceived to be part of the social ‘norm’ were marginalized and criminalized,” said McLeod. “Everyone is affected by this, not just queer people. If this law was enforced today, all the women on the police and fire departments could be charged with a misdemeanor for cross-dressing.”

It was a time of free love - if you were heterosexual. During the
1960s, Stonewall, a dingy bar in New York's West Village, was about
the only place in Manhattan where gays and lesbians could dance in public.
It was also a time when homosexuality was regarded as a mental
illness. Same-sex intercourse was illegal in 49 of the 50 states.
"Masquerade," a 19th-century statute against dressing in the clothes
of the opposite sex, was likewise punishable by law.In order to rid the city of the scourge of long-haired men and
short-haired women, police routinely raided gay bars where they would
club and arrest patrons. But typically, before officers paid a call
on (the mob-run) Stonewall, they alerted the owners, who alerted
their customers. But on the night of June 28, 1969, the vice squad
didn't call in advance. And when they came waving nightsticks, the
dancers and drag queens fought back.

Why remember Stonewall if you're in the closet? That's just a fucking joke. You have no pride. Talk's cheap.

I have never figured out why brendats uses the natina SN. S(he)s not banned and they post the exact same way. But I guess you can have as many SN as you want on here just as long as you don't break the TOS.
