I've sent a response.

I'm extremely upset.

I'm going to take some time to decide what to do next.
An email from me to Richard Carlbom:

"Richard,

I am extremely disappointed in this response.

Last week's Feminist Caucus meeting was a clear display of the transphobia running rampant in certain corners of the DFL. We brought it to your attention hoping you would condemn it, hoping you would say that this behavior is not welcome in our party. You have refused to do so.

We hoped you would take decisive action to immediately ensure that DFL events, meetings, and other spaces are safe for trans people. We hoped you would use your position to make clear to everyone that as Chair, you will not stand for transphobia in these spaces. You have refused to do so.

When we met with you on Monday, your first ideas for what to do about this were to have a listening session for trans folks in the party, to have a DFL T-shirt designed by a trans person, and to involve trans people in Rep. Sarah McBride's upcoming visit. You had no suggested actions that would root out the transphobia in the party - only ones that would amplify the visibility of trans people. While amplifying trans voices is important, It means nothing if it's done in transphobic spaces. You have done nothing to stop DFL spaces from becoming transphobic spaces." It's no wonder so few trans people are active in party leadership, despite the fact that Minnesota has the highest concentration of trans adults. It's no wonder so many of my trans friends have become disillusioned with politics and with the DFL. So many trans people have lost our faith in the DFL, and for good reason. The fact that you have refused to take this opportunity to repair that trust speaks volumes.

I still have respect for you and hope for the party, but this is an insufficient way to meet the moment. When trans people are under attack from the Republicans, from the federal government, and from some Democrats, the DFL should consider fighting transphobia to be its duty and its honor. The fact that you instead just regurgitate these non-committal, mealy-mouthed statements that are ostensibly in support of trans people but have no action attached to them? That's incredibly disappointing.

I will be taking the next few days to decide my next steps with the party, including whether to step away entirely.

Respectfully and regretfully,

my girlfriend's first flight got delayed making her miss her connection, then she didn't get a seat on the earlier standby flight, and now the later flight is delayed, so instead of landing at 6:30 i will be taking the bus and the light rail to meet her at the airport at 12:30 am or so 🙃

Drawing it full circle here: LaTonya was the person against whom I lodged a specific code of conduct complaint against for her transphobia mocking pronoun usage in the DFL Feminist caucus meeting a month ago.
The investigation is being conducted by a panel subcommittee of the CRBC led by Latonya Reeves. Reeves is the author of one of the original challenges to the Minneapolis DFL convention, calling for the revocation of Sen. Fateh's endorsement.  Reeves later withdrew her challenge, choosing instead to participate and vote on the CRBC ruling which retracted Sen Fateh's endorsement.  Along several other members of the CRBC, Reeves is also a voting member of the DFL State Executive Committee, which absolved the CRBC of error in their handling of the challenges to the Minneapolis DFL convention.

Haven't watched this yet but apparently Becketwood had a mayoral forum with Jazz, Omar, DeWayne, and Jacob, and moderator Tane Danger would repeat questions until he got an actual answer.
