Recently there was a scheduled "panel discussion" that was supposed to take place in Kansas City, sponsored by PBS and another reputable organization which has put on excellent, balanced discussions in the past. However, this discussion purportedly about the effect of anti-trans legislation on local kids and families was lined up to be a debate between nationally known anti-trans speakers vs local LGBTQIA+ speakers, only one of whom is trans. We raised holy HELL and told the sponsoring organizations this is NOT the play, because of the severe anti-trans bent of the panel, and that they were about to give their reputation a big black eye, and they backed down and cancelled the event.

Thanks for this. My tactic is to refuse any press. Period. I want no part of any "documentary".
