If the EFF has come out as pro trans they'll lose my donation, as does any org or business that is pro trans. Now I have to go look it up. Again. I'm so sick of having to follow behind people checking this shit.

While I'm fine with speaking in person and to my representatives with my real name, I'll never connect it to an online profile.

The digital Kevlar comment is not about using real names, it's about maintaining habits that prevent people and their networks of association from being identified and linked across multiple sites in the tools TRAs are using. Identification should be voluntary and shouldn't expose one's friends.

Oh, I see - that makes sense (to not expose your contacts to harassment from trans demands activists).

I am not encouraging anyone who doesn't feel completely comfortable with doing so to use their own name. As we've all seen, trans activists are a violence-threatening lot, and I don't blame any person who doesn't want to deal with their lunacy.

I did a quick search for EFF & transgender; I didn't find what I was looking for, but EFF did give TiM "Chelsea" Manning an "Electronic Frontier Foundation Pioneer Award Winner" in 2017. EFF calls Manning "she" and mentions his trans advocacy.

I'll take bets that the same gender lobby funders that turned the ACLU, etc., into gender propaganda mouthpieces are trying their best to do the same to EFF.

Ah. Yes, I am aware of Private Manning. They haven't hit my personal defunding threshold. Yet.

If you want to fall down the rabbit hole, here's some detail (archive.org to not give clicks) on another crowdfunded TRA connections tool with an overview of methodology. https://web.archive.org/web/20210219233925/https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andreajames/the-transphobia-project

"Andrea James" is the same TRA who harassed Michael Bailey ("The Man Who Would be Queen") and his children along with other academics. Overview by Alice Dreger: http://www.alicedreger.com/in_fear
