Hi, We are referring to an individual who is born female and identifies as female and/or an individual born male and now identifies as female. Thanks, SK

So it’s open to men, so bang goes yet another award intended for women.
What about females who were born female and now identify as a male? They are still biologically female, so it’s rather discriminatory innit? Where do the trans men fit in? This is so unfair, I’m toying with the idea of being offended on their behalf, just for fun. :P
Sorry to veer about off-topic but since this is all about mis-labeling people, maybe an article in which a feminist group is called a “hate group” in an online mag for LIBRARIES is relevant
And the site is deleting my comments asking for things like what is the “hate speech” they are claiming?
And for pointing out that “hate speech” has been determined to still be free speech by the Supremes.
And that those who call for “hate speech” to be banned or no-platformed should think about what happens when they are the ones out of power and their speech is called hateful.
You know, all that stuff that actually falls within their stated comments policy but is still being deleted.

Am I supposed to ask someone their gender identity before I nominate them, or will the awards committee take care of that? Or is that considered rude?
I’m offended on behalf of those born neither male nor female who now identify as female. Where’s their award?

Oh look and it’s about the Seattle PL. And it’s a pile of fetid dingoes’ kidneys.
Ironic that she talks about the silencing of women when she wants to do exactly that.
Comments critical of the library article are posting now, if people wish to read them.
Thank you, I for one do.
