'50 Under 30: A Gender War on America's Youth' human rights report

'Gender expression is a human right. State authorities’ failure to adequately investigate and prosecute

2. Respond firmly to gender-based bullying and harassment (educators)

5. Reach out and educate local youth on gender and violence (youth, organizations)'

Please take the time to read this human rights report on violence against people based on their gender identity/expression. It primarily focuses on the brutal murders of young American, poor, urban, racial minorities (of biologically male sex) who express themselves in ways codifed by the governing cultural heterosexually normative binary as 'feminine'. It addresses the inaction of peers, the police, legislators, educators and the media in giving these gender identity and expression-related violent hate crimes an appropriate response. Failure of proactively recognizing non-conforming gender-based assaults as hate crimes, lack of appropriate diversity training for police, lack of disciplinary action from educators and lack of media coverage are a few of the grievances presented in the report. It is intolerable that such violence against free expression of gender can go unpunished and unreported, and that such a vulnerable and disinherited portion of the population (young, urban, racial minorities who express their gender out of the proscribed heteronormative binary), goes unprotected.
