You know that this just indicates to me that you are one of the users that was banned for their transphobic comments and that you are now ban evading, which is a site-wide rule violation, right?

Rev. Anderson has been incredibly consistent in fighting for everyone's rights in the time I've known her. She earned this position through hard work and genuine advocacy.

So it’s she/her not they/them? Is that right? She has volunteered her time and is passionate about organizing folks, So be it!

Lots of removed comments in this thread. Sad to see how one sided reddit has become. A safe space for weak minded.

> Since trans women are women (whether they transition or not), we shouldn’t shame them by recommending regular prostate exams, or anything related to their former gender.

WTF? You have to be trolling. Some anti-androgens used as part of HRT may actually mask the symptoms of prostate cancer, that's actually more reason to get screened.

>She has been active on social justice issues of race, poverty and gender. She also is co-chair of the Rhode Island Commission on Prejudice and Bias, and a former co-chair of the State Advisory Committee for the United States Commission on Civil Rights.

As well as being an executive in this caucus for the past 2 years

Yeah that's what the job is. She has experience in the job

The dipshit bigot I replied to said she had no qualifications but her gender

Exactly. She's not only shown up but has volunteered countless hours every year in pushing for legislation and actually organizing folks.

People who actually know her, can testify to that fact. Her gender identity had nothing to do with why she was elected to this position.

Correct, I was happy to cast my vote for her!

Just because your gender identity is your only achievement doesn't meant that's her only achievement.
