25. I have mixed feelings about this

OTOH I totally get people's anger and frustration and Sinema over her behavior and not being more open to her constituents

OTOH the idea of following people into the bathroom and filming them strikes me as bit too aggressive, especially when they could have waited until she finished and came out. As a Trans person, I don't particularly like the idea of normalizing behaviors that other less reputable actors might want to emulate and take advantage of (and have actually done to other Trans people in the past).

I guess I would say, don't be afraid to try to hold her accountable, but be smart and strategic about it. This was perhaps a bit out of bounds in general.

even if that is the case, it's not "stalking" Grasswire2 Oct 2021 #21

If the employee has been avoiding them & refusing to communicate with the employer dflprincess Oct 2021 #36

You missed my point themaguffin Oct 2021 #10

Thank you. Who organized this group? You'd think they'd be crowing about it by now. Budi Oct 2021 #16

What specifically leads you to assert it as an acceptable political strategy by others? LanternWaste Oct 2021 #31
