Heated Exchange: Trans Women in Women's Sports
In early May, my team explored the following claim with students: "Trans women should be able to compete in women’s sports.” After about 25 minutes of discussion, one student asked, “What’s the goal of this?”
The idea of examining beliefs seemed utterly foreign to her. Universities have a responsibility to provide students with tools to think through claims and exchange in fruitful inquiry. They are failing.
Although students were aware we were filming this conversation, we blurred some of their faces in the video for their privacy and we're not releasing the name of the university.
“I deserve to be respected.” Said the woman who mere minutes earlier called anyone who disagrees with her a “transphobic piece of shit” and Boghossian an “ass”.
I love how she stated that since you are only in the top ten you really don’t qualify as an expert. Lol, today’s college students are so rude and complete idiots. She is only a student, not a graduate and yet an authority on transgender, phobias and anything else that fits the narrative. Oh yeah and she obviously is a sports genius.
