"Diana was invited to a women's retreat in the Oregon forest, which after she accepted the invitation instituted a "no penis" policy banning transsexual women who had not have sex reassignment surgery from attending. She declined to participate, but held a workshop on trans issues outside with the
help of non-trans allies. The workshop was successful, but a rumor was
spread shortly thereafter alleging that she trespassed on the women-only retreat and exposed herself. It was obviously false, but extremely hurtful."
