  • Statement by PHIMC President and CEO Karen A. Reitan
    Statement by PHIMC President and CEO Karen A. Reitan Friends: On May 14, we watched the jarring images of white men with automac weapons inside the Michigan State Capitol, nose to nose yelling at police with no response or consequence. Not two weeks later, we watched horrifying video of George Floyd, a black man, being murdered by a police officer kneeling on his neck in front of a crowd of onlookers begging him to stop. Three addional officers looked on and did nothing. This weekend, we watched thousands take to the streets calling for jusce with a righteous rage that began 400 years ago when the first Africans were stolen from their homes and brought here as slaves. That racism and oppression of people of color, parcularly black people, are a central component of American life cannot be disputed. It is imbedded in the United States at all levels - personal, professional, legal, spiritual - no maer where you turn, racism and oppression are there. The burden of dismantling the racist infrastructure of our country lies squarely with white people. We created this problem when we chose this path and it is ours to own and to change. We will never be the America we think we are until this happens. Racism is a public health crisis. That cannot be denied. Study aer study documents the disproporonate burden of chronic and infecous diseases among people of color. The chronic stress of being black in America, parcularly among women, has been shown to contribute to heart disease, hypertension, and premature death. In Chicago's wealthy and predominately white Streeterville community, residents live to be 90 on average, while nine miles south, in Chicago's impoverished and predominately black Englewood community, residents live only to 60.

  • Gender Self-Determination Troubles
    Gender Self-Determination Troubles by Ido Katri A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science Faculty of Law University of Toronto © Copyright by Ido Katri 2021 Gender Self-Determination Troubles Ido Katri Doctor of Juridical Science Faculty of Law University of Toronto 2021 Abstract This dissertation explores the growing legal recognition of what has become known as ‘gender self-determination.’ Examining sex reclassification policies on a global scale, I show a shift within sex reclassification policies from the body to the self, from external to internal truth. A right to self-attested gender identity amends the grave breach of autonomy presented by other legal schemes for sex reclassification. To secure autonomy, laws and policies understand gender identity as an inherent and internal feature of the self. Yet, the sovereignty of a right to gender identity is circumscribed by the system of sex classification and its individuating logics, in which one must be stamped with a sex classification to be an autonomous legal subject. To understand this failure, I turn to the legal roots of the concept self-determination by looking to international law, and to the origin moment of legal differentiation, sex assignment at birth. Looking at the limitations of the collective right for state sovereignty allows me to provide a critical account of the inability of a right to gender identity to address systemic harms. Self- attested gender identity inevitably redraws the public/private divide along the contours of the trans body, suggesting a need to examine the apparatus of assigning sex at birth and its pivotal role in both the systemic exclusions of trans people, and in the broader regulation of gender.

However, many reporters, editors and producers continue to face challenges covering these issues in a complex, often rhetorically charged, climate. Media coverage of LGBT people has become increasingly multi-dimensional, reflecting both the diversity of our community and the growing visibility of our families and our relationships. As a result, reporting that remains mired in simplistic, predictable “pro-gay”/”anti-gay” dualisms does a disservice to readers seeking information on the diversity of opinion and experience within our community. Misinformation and misconceptions about our lives can be corrected when journalists diligently research the facts and expose the myths (such as pernicious claims that gay people are more likely to sexually abuse children) that often are used against us.
