The other day, we learned Boston was planning to spend at least $1 million for its ‘office of LGBTQ advancement’ and that the city was going to host a ‘trans period pride’ event on June 17. The event was billed as a ‘consciousness-raising discussion’ of ‘menstrual equity’ with a focus on ‘trans menstruators.’

That event at the library has now been canceled, following major backlash.

The organizer is apparently looking for a new venue.
The Boston Public Library has canceled its June 17 booking of the “Trans Period Pride” event partially funded by Mayor Michelle Wu‘s nearly $1 million-a-year Office of LGBTQIA2S+ Advancement, Mass Daily News has learned.
…
Mass Daily News reported on the event May 27. The flyer pitched a “consciousness-raising discussion” on “trans menstruators,” with a free catered dinner and free period underwear for attendees. Wu’s Office of LGBTQIA2S+ Advancement was named as a partial funder.
On Friday, Sasha Goodfriend, executive director of Mass NOW, broke her silence — not to local press, but to Them, a Condé Nast LGBT magazine. Her message: critics were “extremist voices” trying to “shame, erase, and isolate transgender people.”

The transgender activism seeks to shame, erase, and isolate women. Only women menstruate. Not ‘trans women,’ who are men and not ‘trans men,’ who are women.

Yes, it is.
Good. Don’t stop pressuring these venues and anyone who supports a Democrat until they stop doing it to us.

The Left is harassing anyone slated to perform at the 250th Great American State Fair, and many artists have canceled. So yes. What’s good for the goose.
‘Trans period pride library event’ in Boston cancelled. Why? Because the public has had enough.
Go Boston!!!

Probably. That’s what the Left does best.
Taxpayer dollars should not go to fund this unscientific, agenda-driven, women-erasing nonsense. Only women have periods, and there’s no need for ‘menstruation equity.’
