A local Scottish LGBT advocacy group has just published a statement I feel is incredibly transphobic (and it's in support of an org that is blatantly, angrily transphobic and has an agenda of getting in the news with anti-trans scare stories).

I've drafted a reply calling them out on this, and I'd like to use my cis queer privilege to give them a bollocking, but I also want to check I'm not stepping out of my lane here. Would any trans* Masto peeps be willing to take a look?

This is the local paper article, including the statement by the Highland LGBT Forum group: https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/News/Woman-identified-as-man-to-get-into-hostel-dorm-26062018.htm

And this is the blog post by the "women's right group" (aka TERF group) that started it all: http://manfridayuk.org/2018/06/15/a-scottish-hostelling-experience/

My draft reply (which might go ignored by them, but hey, I would like to try and get through to them): -- any thoughts and opinions welcome, including "you are not qualified to speak up on this" which I will totally understand.

Apologies for lack of caption, Masto's character limit is my nemesis. Can repost as text if that's easier.
