I wasn’t aware of this, and I have to admit I’m slightly shocked.
I’m blocked by THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN????? The oldest, biggest, most mainstream feminist group in the US? That organization for women now blocks women for not agreeing that men can be women? In other words the oldest, biggest, most mainstream feminist group in the US is now shunning feminist women in favor of anti-feminist misogynist men?
How did that happen?
Mind you, I’m assuming that’s why I’m blocked, but I don’t remember anything specific.
But it’s grotesque. It’s grotesque – mainstream feminist organizations shunning feminist women for the sake of non-feminist men. How is that going to advance feminist goals? How is that going to do anything useful?
I think I’ll have to send them a little note with some questions.

That’s honestly shocking. It’s not even considered a matter of being wrong about trans rights; they’ve turned it into being wrong about women’s rights.
I just tried replying to NOW and I’m not blocked — yet. My guess is you’re more prolific & prominent. Big fish.
Just checked. I’m blocked too.
I sent them that little note.
How did you send it, if you’re blocked? (I don’t know how Twitter works.)
Not via Twitter. There’s a Contact Us button on their website. I done contacted them.
Great. Let’s see if they respond.
Well yes, that’s why I wrote to them.
