I really don’t want to see this go the same way again. We need so badly to be putting our energies into working together for our collective liberation. And FWIW, having been there, anyone on any side of this can reach out to me if you want to chat about it.

As before, A4TE’s leaders started down this road with a real commitment to fighting for our communities - but without, I fear, learning enough from past mistakes. Most of us in these movements have had to eat crow about some things in the past dozen years. I’m afraid there’s a lot more to go round.

Trans NGOs in the US are in crisis with funders and key institutional allies turning their backs when our communities desperately need solidarity. That is a call to courage and vision rooted in shared values, not an excuse for repeating old mistakes of management-think.

Having led the policy shop at NCTE for 11 years and left after its crackup in 2019, it’s heartbreaking to see its successor @transequality.bsky.social making such similar mistakes. A4TE is not meeting the challenge of this moment; it can and should do better.

UPDATE: Layoff negotiations end in just one week, and one thing is clear: A4TE management is intent on laying off a specific group of Union members.

UNION FOR
TANS LIBERATE
LAYOFF NEGOTIATIONS END IN JUST ONE WEEK, and one thing is clear:
A4TE management is intent on laying off a specific group of Union members.
After a month and a half of negotiations, multiple cost-saving proposals from the Union,
SIX voluntary separations
(3 union, 2 director, and 1 confidential employee), and two involuntary director layoffs, management's potential layoff list of 12 bargaining unit members remains unchanged.
Read More →

On 9/16, management once again rejected the Union's proposal for tiered salary cuts for staff making over $130k.
Instead, they proposed the CEO take an 8% pay cut—but only if the Union agreed to a salary freeze for all staff.
The worst part?
They said this salary freeze wouldn't save any union jobs.
Read More →

During our all-staff meeting yesterday, 9/17, management told staff for the first time in that they were working on a proposal that included salary cuts for management making over $155k.
This shocked us.
Communicating this counter in an all-staff meeting before bargaining is blatant direct dealing and an unfair labor practice.
We hope management follows through on their promise of salary cuts for the highest-paid managers in our organization, but these proposals must be communicated during bargaining. Most importantly: they must save Union jobs!

STAKE ACTION
This is your last week to make your voice heard before a dozen trans people get official notice that they will be laid off.
PLEASE EMAIL: a4te@transequality.org and comment on A4TE's social media.
Urge them to implement the Union's cost-saving proposals instead of laying off nearly half of our union.

The endless takes demanding "moderation" from Democrats never spell out precisely how this message is supposed to be delivered. "I am pro-trans but not too pro-trans" looks to the left like you are anti-trans and to the right like you are not anti-trans enough.

Last week I learned that the layoffs will impact me, with my last day on September 30. While this ending is painful, it’s also clarifying. It’s shown me how much I value clear vision, collaborative leadership, & workplaces where trans people are resourced to do our best work.

The JK statement isn’t a pivot or a capitulation but the fact that she has said it AT ALL is interesting. she’s never cared about the blowback from her views before this at all—she regularly sues people who call her a TERF.

Today, the federal government has issued a final rule on one of their proposals to limit gender affirming care for youth; the rule which prohibits Medicaid reimbursements will go into effect October 13th. It's a bad rule, but it's less catastrophic than its companion rule. And it will be challenged.
