in this case, this implicitly refers to racial and gendered practices.
Violence is central to the lives of many trans sex workers of color and PFZs augment
their criminalization. Police, media and the legal system continually diminish sex
worker experiences and restate violence against those bodies to create a boundary
between the 'good-worker' citizen and the 'bad-worker' citizen

PFZs are zones of exceptionality where the sovereign power has the ability to
determine who lives and dies bodies that are deemed unproductive are displaced
and killed

The cityscape provides a productive ground in which to visualize processes of
neoliberalism, nationalisms
AND
bodies that illuminates the queer homo sacer of the DC urban landscape.
Trans bodies are perpetually pushed under the rug in conversations about
prostitution which legitimizes death - even in LGBT dialogue. This exclusion
represents a form of homonationalistic coherence that sustains violence against
trans bodies of color

Prostitution Free Zone laws allow the police to declare space free of 'prostitution
related activities' based on pre conceived notions on prostitution. We declare this
space to unlearn these notions which have a material effect on bodies

Transgender phenomena may be "postmodern" to the extent that they are imagined to

Unlearning pre conceived notions society holds vs certain bodies requires a
conscious effort to deconstruct our understandings only the 1ac allows for an
