At the demonstration, outside a hotel where a women's rights group is holding its convention, protesters say the organization is anti-Trans rights.

A group of demonstrators protested outside the Hilton Hotel in San Francisco's Financial District, where Women's Declaration International USA is holding its convention. "WDI" says it's focused on reigniting the Women's Liberation Movement, but critics say that's misleading."Their group is what we call 'TERFs,' Trans-exclusionary radical feminists," said Nancy Kato from Reproductive Justice Coalition.

Honey Mahogany, chair of San Francisco's Democatic Party says WDI is contributing to the spread of misinformation. Police intervened when several counter protesters attending the women's conference showed up, including Corrina D'Annible. The WDI'S statement went on to say: "We are enjoying our discussions about the rights, privacy and safety of women and girls, including reproductive liberty and the rights of lesbian and bisexual women."In response, Hotel management told ABC7 News, "As a place of hospitality, the Hilton San Francisco Financial District Hotel strives to serve as a welcoming place for all and does not adopt or endorse the views of any individuals or groups we serve.
