Hey y’all, guess who’s STILL stalling on economics—and who just canceled the final bargaining session of the year? Yep. @transequality.bsky.social’s Management. They clearly don’t care that the BU will lose protections heading into the new year.

Among the proposals mgmt has made so far: 1) pay *decreases* for several Union members 2) restrictions to make it more difficult to access funds in our gender affirming care pool and 3) rollbacks to existing just cause and progressive discipline protections to make it easier to fire Union staff

We are back at the bargaining table! And it's been FIVE months. There is no time but the present, @transequality.bsky.social Let's Negotiate!

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

Public Statement 🧵 (1/10) (see full statement here- docs.google.com/document/d/1...) We are deeply troubled by the news of HRC planning to lay off ~20% of its staff. These are not just numbers. These are people who have dedicated their lives to LGBTQIA+ rights.

Jeremy Peters is not the guy you should be trusting with interviews. He's a snake and an activist working against your org.

It is notable that the NYT is repeatedly accused of taking words out of context to create the most anti-trans narrative imaginable. For reference, this is the way Heng-Lehtinen's words were presented in the NYT story. If this is truly as blatantly out of context, the NYT should be ashamed.

Advocate's for Trans Equality have released a statement on yesterday's New York Times story, stating Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen's quotes were taken out of context by to imply support for those who misgender, and ceding ground. They state the organization will refuse to cede any ground. Full statement:

Proud of my union 💙

So, so proud to be in this union!
