In law reform, this takes the lack of representation and care with regards to trans bodies within the legal system making any potential reforms ineffective. This is because that, while the intent of LGBTQ-inclusive laws is to bring awareness to discriminatory crimes that regularly occur, there are too many societal and racial intersections that involve society\u2019s awareness of trans bodies for it to be considered effective. Law reform must come hand-in-hand with an understanding society with an accompanying inclusiveness outside of legal matters.<\/p>\n<p>With regards to hate crime laws, Spade argues that one of the issues with dealing with hate crimes is the oversimplification of how to process said crimes through our current legal system. He says that this results in thinking that \u201cthe criminal punishment system is the proper way to solve [hate crimes]\u201d (44). Because there are many systematic flaws that disadvantage marginalized groups through the justice system (an example being the War on Drugs, which intersects with racial discrimination), strengthening hate crime laws to fit around the legal system reinforces the systematic shortcomings.<\/p>\n<p>REFERENCE<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What\u2019s Wrong with Rights?&#8221;, <em>Normal Life:\u00a0Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics, and the Limits of Law<\/em>, Dean Spade<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the essay What\u2019s Wrong With Rights?, Dean Spade articulates systematic failures that prevent trans-identifying individuals from receiving equal treatment under the law and equal rights.
