Changes

Over the years, members and chapter heads have requested and proposed the implementation of a gender, sexual, and racial diversity policy to ensure equity within TST leadership and alignment to the mission. The demand was not simply ignored but completely dismissed. The demand was not hollow; there was a clear and pressing need for this policy. While I was part of the organization, I witnessed male members of the organization exploit their position and influence to behave inappropriately and disrespectfully towards women. I myself experienced harassment and abuse from members who have now left the organization. I was not supported by leadership during these times, but was asked to let it all “blow over.”<ref name="Friendly Atheist">[https://shadowtolight.wordpress.com/2018/09/09/will-the-friendly-atheist-ever-learn/ Will the Friendly Atheist Ever Learn?], September 2018</ref>}}
