Meanwhile, Katherine Cross, a graduate student who is a board member at the Sylvia Rivera Law Project, a public interest firm that assists transgender clients, imagines what U.S. life would be like if we had constitutional protections against bias and exploitation. Taking a page from the right wing, she demands that we be given the "right to life. In Cross' version, though, right-to-life is not an anti-abortion meme, but is rather the assurance that people will be cared for by society. In "Feminist Constitution," she explains that new governing documents will guarantee access to a range of services. "Reproductive health care would be publicly funded," she writes, "up to and including all transport costs; contraception, being essential to such health, would also not be subject to one's ability to afford it … A right to life for transgender people would mean a right to all the medical care and self-alteration necessary to fashion a livable life for ourselves … A right to life, period, would mean a right to a home, a right to food, a right to be free from prejudice and its manifold violent manifestations.
