I'm sure the radical feminist Kara Dansky (a lawyer with the Women's Human Rights Campaign and author of the just released book, The Abolition of Sex) would beg to differ with you. Kara used to work at the ACLU but left when she saw the handwriting on the wall in the form of a "transgender man" (a natal female) with the unintentionally hilarious name of Chase Strangio, Esq.
Neither Kara Dansky nor Jennifer Bilek of the 11th Hour Blog would fall for that impenetrably woke, self-serving boilerplate you quoted from above. But don't take my word for it, just ask Kara and Jennifer. Money talks and $15 million ain't hay. When it comes to protecting the fundamental rights of biological girls and women, the ACLU just ain't what it used to be.
"When it comes to protecting the fundamental rights of biological girls and women, the ACLU just ain't what it used to be." I completely agree. But your statement about the purpose of the $15M donation, according to both the donors and the recipients, is factually false. And my point is that making factualy false statements does NOTHING to help the cause of women and girls. It hurts that cause, by allowing our enemies to claim (correctly) that we lied about them.
I understand you have a PhD in science from Stanford. I actually went to graduate school at Stanford, back in the 1970s and lived at Crothers Memorial Hall. Here are the facts and you will notice my earlier statement was not false.
This is what former ACLU attorney and radical feminist Kara Dansky, who wrote the excellent new book (The Abolition of Sex: How the "Transgender" Agenda Harms Women and Girls"), had to say about the $15 million gift that healthcare billionaire Stryker gave to the ACLU and his support of transgender activism.
"Jon Stryker is heir to the Stryker Corporation, a medical device and technology company that brings in nearly $15 billion annually. In 2000, he founded the Arcus Foundation.... In 2015, it announced its plan to earmark $20 million specifically for "transgender" causes, and in 2021, Stryker donated $15 million to the ACLU to advance its LGBT causes in law and policy. As a practical matter because legal rights for lesbians and gay men have largely been secured, this means advancing the ACLU's gender identity agenda in the courts and in state legislatures across the US, as described in Chapter 2.
I don't think Kara Dansky is lying. I think she's telling the truth.
Why do you expect the transgender rights crowd to tell the truth about anything. They tell the most unbelievable lies about everything related to transgenderism. It's one blatant lie after another.
These are the lies I can think of just off the top of my head:
Puberty blockers are reversible.
Double mastectomies are reversible.
There are relatively few complications from phalloplasties, and vaginoplasties.
Almost no one regrets transitioning.
Anyone who detransitions was never transgender in the first place.
Men can give birth to babies.
If you don't allow your child to transition they will kill themselves.
The murder rate for "transgender" people is shockingly high.
Biological men with intact penises can be lesbians.
And let us not forget that the main message of the teachers who delivered the lecture to the CTA was to lie to parents about everything related to their child. It's lies, lies, lies all the way down.
I am a private citizen not a professional journalist. I am entitled to express my opinion on Substack even when it disagrees with your opinion. You weren't in the room when Stryker and the ACLU allocated that money. You don't know where that $15 million actually went. And I don't believe that press release any more than I believe that America's newest four star, Admiral "Rachel" Levine, is female.
Well. Well. Well.
