I just got an e-mail this morning from LGB Alliance USA. The subject was "FACT SHEET ON SEX-BASED RIGHTS AND GENDER IDENTITY". I wanted to forward this to my son, but could not - "The response from the remote server was: 554 5.7.1 Spam detected by content scanner. Message rejected." I actually had to edit the subject line to successfully forward!

I have been a Feminist & Gay Rights activist since the 70s, my entire adult life. I did not fight to lose our Women-only spaces, our sports, our very legal recognition, to MEN who "feel" like women. Suddenly, I am faced with not being able to stand 100% with Amnesty International, the ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center & even the bloody MS foundation! I bought the 1st issue of Ms. & now its foundation is headed by a MAN!

I only recently became aware of the TRA. I became aware when i found myself horrified by the vitriol against Rowling - it PROVED to me these MtFs were MEN! I have become very saddened to be shut down, directly & indirectly for questioning the TRA in my circle. My best female friend shut down a conversation, for trying to talk about Abigail Shrier's book "Irreversible Damage" (I was depressed for days). I must now avoid this topic or lose my friend.

I feel quite isolated, so I'm grateful for this space.
