Sanctuary Discriminates Against Cis People Portland, Oregon
I drove a long way and spent a ton on parking to attend an event advertised on Sanctuary's web site. The front desk was being operated entirely by trans people, which is fine, but these particular trans people refused to let me in because I am cisgendered and dressed accordingly. This "requirement" was not stated anywhere, and gender expression is a protected class in Oregon.
I went on Sanctuary's discussion board and expressed my concerns in a truthful and respectful manner. Sanctuary then proceeded to ban me from the board without ever responding.
Sanctuary claims to be an open and inclusive space, but the truth is the exact opposite. Sanctuary discriminates and retaliates against people based on gender expression - and that is illegal.
