This is a body that has upheld slavery, Jim Crow, and Japenese internment camps.
One time, in sixth grade, I had to wear a gray PE shirt to school all day. It was meant to cause embarrassment and shame because I dared to wear a shirt with spaghetti straps. I was told what I was wearing was “too suggestive” by a school administrator, who was a white male. The suggestive feature, you may ask, were my shoulders.
It was the first time that I experienced having my body policed by an institutional authority. But the few of us who were either Black or Latinx, especially those with curvy bodies were always under scrutiny. Some girls ended up wearing their gym clothes every day.
Those acts of control over our bodies are lessons that are instilled in us at a young age. They condition us to be obedient and docile — to accept the reality that our personal right to autonomy can be stripped away on the basis of our race, class, or perceived gender.
