so I just found out that Alice Dreger is giving a talk at my university and feel like I should say something to my peers who were just forwarded an invitation to her lecture. should I reply in thread to the forward, send a separate email about it, or do something else? Maybe contact the university's LGBTQ student group to see if they're going to take any action?
