More info on incident of radical feminist attack on Beth Elliot

Chapter 6 of Queer America briefly mentions that in 1973 "transsexual lesbian Beth Elliot was expelled from the West Coast Women's Conference" as part of "conflicts between lesbian feminists and trans people" (an extremely mild way of referring to the vicious transphobia of that strain of radical feminism). Here's a link that goes into much greater detail about that event; I recommend giving it a read if you can stomach it. Content warning for extreme and violent transphobia/transmisogyny and misgendering.
