That sounds like the thinking at the NCTE that staff buyouts would be a good way to quietly purge the organization of dissenting voices and avoid scandal. Surely trans activists of color would feel their interests to be best served by not rocking the boat, right?

ding ding ding!
I mean, people clearly fucked up the handling of the complaint, but it seems clear that president-elect thought he could turn this whole situation to his advantage.
I was just amazed to learn RWA's president elect was named Damon Suede.
