Trans activists protest women-only pharmacy

On Jul 11, trans activists protested the policies of a new Vancouver pharmacy that only serves women born women. The Vancouver Women's Health Collective, the group running Lu's: A Pharmacy for Women, says it does not have the expertise to serve trans women. Trans activists say that policy is discriminatory.

Open Dialogue
I'm so glad that this issue is receiving so much media attention! It's great to see so many cisgendered (non-trans) allies are taking issue with Lu's policy! :) I hope that this leads to an open dialogue between the two groups! I should also mention that you can follow us this issue on Twitter (#luspharmacy), the femininjas website (femininjas.com), or on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=113616408736).
