ezs note:  How do we deal with Ms. Murphy?  Well, we can write a letter to the editor.  We can organize a counter-discussion.  If we live in or near Toronto, we can hand out leaflets out to possible patrons which point out respectful but critical points that Murphy might not have thought of.  But, fer gosh's sake, don't try to muzzle Murphy.  For one thing, I believe in free speech.  For another, you're just providing Murphy a megaphone.  I understand it's upsetting, but take the intelligent, thoughtful course.

ezs note:  Here's a quote from The Cleveland Gazette:

"Liberty enlightening the world," indeed! The expression makes us sick. This government is a howling farce. It can not or rather does not protect its citizens within its own borders. Shove the Bartholdi statue, torch and all, into the ocean until the "liberty" of this country is such as to make it possible for an inoffensive and industrious colored man to earn a respectable living for himself and family, without being ku-kluxed, perhaps murdered, his daughter and wife outraged, and his property destroyed. The idea of the "liberty" of this country "enlightening the world," or even Patagonia, is ridiculous in the extreme.  (Wikipedia)

Now, about trans girls...
