Recently I inquired about possibly joining the Red Hat Society. Below is my e-mail to the contact person on their web site along with their reply. I didn’t want to lie about my birth sex.
Dear Ladies,
I am a transgendered person that can dress and pass as a woman. Would I be allowed to join your organization. It sounds like a lot of fun.
Sincerely
Leanne Arthur
Dear Mr. Arthur,
Your email was given to me for follow up.** Sorry, but no.**To answer you simply - Red Hat Society is a*women's social organization.* Men have their clubs, this is ours; it's a girl thing.
I guess my guy thing is the problem. Do you suppose I could join the men’s auxiliary? Leanne
