So depressing . Posie is a very brave and resolute woman. More power to her elbow. What on earth possessed BLM to attack her?

BLM is pro trans. Apparently one of the founders was in a relationship with a TiF at the time.

Here’s the About section from the BLM website: https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/

Unsurprisingly, they recognize gender identity as a category worth protecting and don’t acknowledge sex. There’s a fair bit to about the trans community and one half-assed sentence about women.

Bonus: LGB people are a “sexual identity” and “queer,” which are two things that immediately make me not trust an organization.

Yeah their belief section is all kinds of sketchy, given that the vast majority is focused on the all-important trans.
