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).
