I was extremely surprised to find this on a TV Station in Salt Lake City. Part of the video refers to several transgender women living in Portland, Oregon. I am none of them. Lots of people here know my real name, it is no secret.
This article is also mentioned in a thread on mormondialogue.org. I am really sorry, just reading about it has upset me so much that it is obvious I can not participate in it at all. I think the tactics being used are absolutely despicable and likely to put genuine efforts back years.

why
are you upset?
It seems pretty positive to me.
I do not disagree with the goals ...
It is the confrontive and abrasive methods they use that give me pause. I think that people get this way because of a lack of patience. To me, living our lives quietly and meekly before our detractors is much more powerful in the end.
In the Mormondialogue discussions, I am Ellenmaksoud. Please do not "out" me any more than I have done so myself. :)

KATU Portland, Oregon picks up the story.
Yes, now it is on the news here. I was fearing a bitter, divisive fight over all this, but here in Portland ... Progress is being made.
Yes Ladies, the battle is being well met, by others. I did my in your face activism in years ago, and am off it now. If you Google, my true name, you will see how it played out, and was quite painful at the time.
I did not Google it extensively because I am somehow not in the stack any more and that makes me happy.
