Speaking of Transway, it keeps coming up a lot recently but I guess I missed that somehow. Could someone give me the full rundown (minus the fail orgy attempt lmfao)-- what was it, what Phil and Jordan did to get kicked out, why the trans community is apparently so pissed about it, etc?
Transway used to be an organization that provided assistance and social events to transwomen which traditionally meant stuff like passing, finding employment, putting on makeup, finding a therapist, ect stuff like that. Phil Jordman and the other transtrenders essentially ran a smear campaign against the existing leadership and took over the organization, ditching all the useful resources and instead focusing on Tumblr style listen and believe politics. Things came to a head when Phil and Jordman started using the funds donated from local political groups and charities to throw pizza parties instead of on resources to help transwomen as well as alienating Transway's existing allies in the local leftist political communities with increasingly radical politics (die cis men) shit. Due to the above donations started dropping off and Phil and co skipped town when the other members started rightfully blaming them for destroying Transway.
@DT.Miller can correct this if I got it wrong.
