DESCRIPTION:The TERFs are holding a 3-day conference in San Francisco, of all places, 
 to be followed by a "non violent direction action."  Promotional materials 
 for the conference wrap it in the lefty-sounding, feel-good language of 
 "women's liberation" and "lesbian rights," but that's a ruse.  Their 
 primary mission is to attack trans women, and they are more than willing to 
 align with outright fascists in order to promote their hateful agenda.  
 Their call for "gender abolition" — besides co-opting and disingenuously 
 twisting the word "abolition" for bigoted ends — is thinly veiled code 
 for "destroy transgender persons' ability to live openly in peace."\n\nKara 
 Dansky, a regular guest on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show, will speak at 
 the conference about the supposed "Debate Over Working with the Right."  
 Anyone want to take a bet on how she feels about aligning with white 
 nationalists?\n\nPresumably, the event's climactic protest will be led by 
 Lierre Keith, who is listed as some kind of expert on "Nonviolent Direct 
 Action" for a conference panel on "Radical Feminist Tactics."\n\nBut, they 
 don't protest well.  Their transphobic "No Men In Women's Prisons" Oakland 
 protest in December was a flop.  First, no one but themselves attended.  
 About ten of them took turns speaking to each other on the steps of the 
 Alameda County courthouse.  Then, their hateful banner got snatched by 
 counter-protesters when they walked over to Lake Merritt.  \n\nAnd they 
 have previously tried to promote their faux-leftist hate in San Francisco, 
 coming off as rather unhinged.  In October, Lierre Keith and pals such as 
 Kellie-Jay Keen protested against a harmless Halloween drag show.  The 
 right-wing cult "news" outlet the Epoch Times favorably covered their 
 transphobic protest, and reported with a straight face that protesters 
 shouted things like "puberty blockers cause osteoporosis."  Were the 
 protesters radical leftists, disaffected Democrats, or what? "Many of the 
 protesters described themselves as liberals who left the Democratic Party 
 over its push for so-called gender-affirming care."  They'll pose as 
 whatever they need to at any given moment, but they sound and act like 
 Proud Boys who show up and disrupt drag shows across the country, yelling 
 crazy shit.  \n\nThe upcoming San Francisco conference is formally called 
 the Women’s Declaration International 2023 National Convention.  Kara 
 Dansky's WDIUSA and Lierre Keith's Women's Liberation Front (WoLF) are two 
 of the main groups fostering this leftist-to-fascist pipeline.\n\nHilton 
 San Francisco conference: \nFriday, September 15, 4pm - 9pm\nSaturday, 
 September 16, 8am - 9pm\nSunday, September 17, 8am - 6pm \n\nA post on 
 Indybay announced the protest to follow the conference, as they had in 
 December in Oakland.\n\nCity Hall protest: \nMonday, September 18\n- 
 subject to change: maybe SF City Hall, maybe at noon / updates may be 
 posted at the TERF website  \n\nDon't be fooled. "Women's Rights" events 
 like this are the same bullshit as "Straight Pride" rallies. And they are 
 just one short hop away from White Christian Nationalism. It all overlaps 
 and should be resisted at every turn.\n
