Archived. I suspect this tweet will disappear. And I hope the ACLU realizes how much damage Strangio is doing to their reputation.

The ACLU itself just tweeted out a load of BS about biological sex and about TiMs in women's sports (the ACLU's tweet is linked on this sub within the last few days), so the rot at the ACLU goes deeper than Chase Strangio.

As the woman who resigned from the ACLU over their pushing of gender madness said it appears that the ACLU has been bought by gender lobby dollars.

I just looked. You're right, the ACLU is lost.

I used to give regularly to the ACLU. I stopped when they decided that putting a teenage girl in the boys' locker room was a good idea. Apparently they've been on the decline ever since.

Check out what Maya Dillard-Smith has to say; she left the ACLU over this issue.

Former ACLU national board member Wendy Kaminer, who in 2006 resigned over the direction the org had taken, wrote in the WSJ in 2017:

The American Civil Liberties Union has explicitly endorsed the view that free speech can harm “marginalized” groups by undermining their civil rights. “Speech that denigrates such groups can inflict serious harms and is intended to and often will impede progress toward equality,” the ACLU declares in new guidelines governing case selection and “Conflicts Between Competing Values or Priorities.”

Kaminer wrote about the awful direction the ACLU was taking in her 2009 book, Worst Instincts: Cowardice, Conformity and the ACLU. From the PW review on Amazon:

Kaminer (Free for All) weighs in on her disillusionment with the ACLU after serving on the national board in post-9/11 America. She contends that under the stewardship of Anthony Romero, who stepped into the executive director position one week before the September 11 attacks, the ACLU has become increasingly partisan, personalized and focused on fund-raising at the expense of its core beliefs.

Kaminer describes herself as a dissident member of the board, and revisits her many battles with Romero and his supporters as she fought their refusal to challenge the government's terrorist watch lists or aid Guantánamo Bay detainees—as less financially stable groups spearheaded the cause.

Kaminer admits that she œcan't claim objectivity, and she is least effective when she allows herself too much leeway on this point, for example, psychoanalyzing those she disagrees with or peppering her writing with references to Branch Davidians and œthe Kool-Aid. However, her depiction of how group members not only follow the herd but also ostracize the œtroublemaker is compelling, and her book is brave and informative.
