I appreciate you working on this, agree that it's time, and was just, in fact, thinking about how to bring a friend up to speed who made a FB post the other day trying to avoid "TERF-y" FB groups, and she is smart and caring, which makes me think that showing her first how LGB are being harmed—which I bet she doesn't even realize is happening—would actually be a compelling argument for her to hear what I have to say. I don't think she wants to be seen as homophobic either. So yes, it's self-defense for sure.

No other concrete suggestions tonight but I will try to follow along, and thank you again to you and others who provide useful collaborative input on this. We have to have a focused, clear, evidence-based way to defend ourselves.

Totally. The propaganda has drilled LGBT LGBT LGBT into everyone's heads. They don't grasp that T is at odds with LGB.
