CDWs Resources Post - Legally Speaking
Welp, it’s 2025 … for better or for worse. I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays!
For the first CDWs Resources Post, I am taking a look back at laws that targeted crossdressing, highlighting social unease with blurring gender lines (to the point of criminalization):
• “Arresting dress: A timeline of anti-cross-dressing laws in the United States”
• “How Dressing in Drag Was Labeled a Crime in the 20th Century”
• “This Isn’t the First Time Conservatives Have Banned Cross-Dressing in America”
• “Amy Coney Barrett surprised by history of cross-dressing laws targeting trans people”
• “New anti-drag laws mirror cross-dressing bans from the 1800s: Déjà vu”
