Katherine Cross is also part of the governing board of a transgender advocacy group called the Sylvia Rivera Law Project. From its 990s, another board member is Naomi Clark, creator of Consentacle and friend of Eric Zimmerman who works alongside someone deeply connected to HSBC. SRLP has been behind the push for eliminating womens' showers and restrooms, and making prisons pay for elective sex hormone treatments. https://web.archive.org/web/20040729042755/http://srlp.org/ As part of its work, the SRLP helps transgender immigrants write applications for asylum. Since their stance is that anybody can claim to be transgender without doing anything to change their gender, this service could potentially be abused by disreputable persons from countries where they kill people for being gay. http://www1.cuny.edu/mu/law/category/student/ https://archive.is/rRolg Three of SRLP's board members, Gabriel Arkles, Pooja Gehi, and Elana Redfield, wrote "The Role of Lawyers in Trans Liberation: Building a Transformative Movement for Social Change" On page 3 the writers advocate for the overthrow of "our legal system", "law", "Capitalism and American democracy" and their replacement with a system that does not recognize scarcity.
