It is for a non-profit asking for donations. If they want half a mill salaries, they should become for-profit instead.

The beauty of non profits is everyone thinks they're staffed with saints, when the truth is far less beatific.

Profit or non-profit is not about paying market rates. Even non-profits have to pay reasonably competitive salaries to attract and retain good employees.

Yeah but half of these should be competitive enough. Come on.

Absolutely. A former student of mine worked for a non profit in Afghanistan (his home country) for a few years. Said non profit was flying in McKinsey consultants for very short gigs at six figures (USD).

Same can be said about many LGBT non profits that have shifted their goals in the developed world on the "T" part of the acronym. On countries where marriage equality is a given, no one is going to fund an NGO focused on gay marriage... so they need a new cause to fight for.

to me this smells transphobic but it's possible the trans genocide several US states are working on made me oversensitive

Competitive is just fine and even expected, but competitive vs FAANG? Seriously?

How is it transphobic to say organizations focused on LGBTQ shifted their alignment for the one part that isn't widely accepted in developed because others for the most part are?

Its a transphobic conspiracy theory to say, as moravak1984 explicitly did upthread, that they did it for money not because its an actual real issue where they perceive an injustice, whereas the issues where they've already won, and thus are shifting some attention from, are not, or less so, specifically because they have succeeded in shifting the situation on the ground.

Why is it transphobic? Is it not possible for an organization to do something for money? I am not accusing any particular organization of doing so, but it absolutely should be a legitimate concern/question.

In fact, I would consider it transphobic to not call out organizations with ulterior motives.

My reply was calling out your ridiculous and hyperbolic claims of "genocide", and examining the reality behind the euphemism.
