   Great response here from Quakers in Britain when they received an anti-trans letter about their trans-inclusive bathroom policy: https://www.quaker.org.uk/documents/re-statement-of-policy-on-provision-of-trans-inclusive-facilities

     @misty damn, this response is amazing

     Can I still be a Quaker if I'm not religious?

     @Iwillyeah my Friends Meeting (Quaker Church) has agnostics, atheists, and anti-theists! We even have some Christians! I'm a "witchy Quaker," personally.

     @misty @tef I think you have to read it a little less cynically. The Quakers really do want to keep the door open for communication and communion, even for people who are currently being total shits.

     They make me wish I believed in God. I'd be all over that Religious Society like real good Friend.

     @misty "We regret that, sadly, unanimity is not possible on this issue and kinder ground eludes us." adding this to my list of ways to tell people where to stick it

     @Iwillyeah @RamenCatholic @misty @tef you can just go for the vibes, but you can also be a Quaker who doesn't believe in god but believes in being a Quaker. It's a whole thing
