This is getting mocked a lot on Twitter, deservedly so.
It's just a small metal grate stuck to an existing pole.
The LA city govt spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on "fact finding" vacations to South America & Europe for itself & its friends for this. It's a giant grift.
My favorite response is from a user with handle RealSexyCyborg:
This is absolute garbage and you should be ashamed of hijacking progressive language in order to squander public funds on personal wish fulfillment, and in the end implement egregiously exclusionary design in the name Gender Equity. People like you make things harder.
Sweetie they didn’t “hijack progressive language,” they literally did progressivism accurately. They spent tons of money on themselves, did absolutely nothing, and then played some word games to make their non-effort sound like a revolutionary act. No hijacking here, this is what you chucklefucks do everyday.
"The lack of essential amenities like shade and lighting isn't just a simple inconvenience. For women and gender minorities — half of our population — it can change the trajectory of their lives," said Chelina Odbert, founding principal of the Kounkuey Design Initiative, which developed the structures with input from female transit riders.

She's got the same delusions as the "That's not real Communism!" crowd.
The lady in blue is going to need 6-8 more lamps to shade her exceptional volume.
That quote sounds like something someone who hasn't had enough shade thrown their way would say.
Thats what I though reading it. Apparently these things can be the difference between life and death waiting for the bus.
That is the shittiest, tiniest bit of purpose built shade that I have ever seen.
I could buy a tarp 100x cheaper than this and it’d be 50x more effective.
Heck I’d paint a picture of a can of bud light on it to show my gender equity.

It's beatiful mess of fart-sniffing and junk science.
The June 1 government default can't come soon enough.
Stunning and brave
