Livre d'Or

*hugs* Oh no, poor Screwy :( I'm always really impressed he's brave enough to raise issues, often successfully. It's really sad that it was awful in this case.

I can't figure out whether I should attend some of the events to show solidarity, or studiously ignore them

You may have already done this, I don't know if it's a stupid idea, but maybe send an email saying "Yay for having trans awareness month, that's really awesome, but maybe [make sure surveys don't sound as if there aren't any trans people in the target audience / have X event / other constructive suggestion]"?

Maybe go along to some less-problematic events, if there are any?
