The Boston Library Canceled the Insane 'Trans Period Pride' Event

The other day, we learned Boston was planning to spend at least $1 million for its 'office of LGBTQ advancement' and that the city was going to host a 'trans period pride' event on June 17. The event was billed as a 'consciousness-raising discussion' of 'menstrual equity' with a focus on 'trans menstruators.'

That event at the library has now been canceled, following major backlash.

The organizer is apparently looking for a new venue.

Here's more:

The Boston Public Library has canceled its June 17 booking of the “Trans Period Pride” event partially funded by Mayor Michelle Wu's nearly $1 million-a-year Office of LGBTQIA2S+ Advancement, Mass Daily News has learned.
The BPL's event listing for the Copley Branch now carries the notice “This event is canceled,” with no reason given. The library has not said publicly whether the call was its own or made at the organizers' request.
...
Mass Daily News reported on the event May 27. The flyer pitched a “consciousness-raising discussion” on “trans menstruators,” with a free catered dinner and free period underwear for attendees. Wu's Office of LGBTQIA2S+ Advancement was named as a partial funder.
The story went viral. Fox News picked it up. The Daily Mail, the New York Post, the Washington Times, and Libs of TikTok amplified it across X. Comments on Mass NOW's Instagram promoting the event were switched off shortly after.
On Friday, Sasha Goodfriend, executive director of Mass NOW, broke her silence — not to local press, but to Them, a Condé Nast LGBT magazine. Her message: critics were “extremist voices” trying to “shame, erase, and isolate transgender people.”
